    Default Better Late than Never!

    I had hoped to have this one finished for the holidays, but swollen arthritic hands made me wait. Now it is finished, and I'll have it for next year. I knew if I didn't do it now that it would end up in a box and probably never finished. I have done some of that in the past. What started as a "Charlie Brown" tree turned out pretty cute. Thanks for taking a peek.

    Great quilt ... and even better, some impressive quilting.
    I really like all the details you have added with the embellishments and FMQing styles and have turned it into a FMQ sampler!

    What a great idea to do pebbles for the garland ... must remember that!

    Hang it up for the next week or two, and enjoy your work .......... and then tuck it away for Christmas!

    I completely agree with QuiltE. Wow, what a sensational piece of artwork. So sorry about your hands. I know that situation all too well. I am so glad you were able to finish it.

    What an absolutely fantastic wallhanging! I love everything about it. You did a wonderful job, especially on the quilting. For sure, keep it up for a couple of weeks. It deserves to be seen.

    I agree, it's too beautiful not to enjoy looking at daily. I'd have it on my wall for a week or two at least. Your quilting is gorgeous.
