Default "Firefall" wallhanging

In Sept., I visited friends in CA for their 70th birthday party and then we spent 5 days camping at Yosemite National Park. Fire Fall was an old tradition at Christmas time, no longer practiced, of sending flaming logs down a cliff/mountain side. He remembers seeing it as a child. I bought a couple of screen printed postcard panels at the park and when I went to www.OldeAmericaAntiques.com looking for more, I found this panel and decided to make it for him as a Christmas gift. The panel was 12 x 16 and with borders finished at 18 x 24. [ATTACH=CONFIG]376533[/ATTACH]

I ordered more postcard/hot pad panels and plan to use them in a quilt for me.

Very nice. Seems there are enough fires now days as it is. A good practice to stop.

I agree! How did they ever avoid massive forest fires?
