Well, for my father's Christmas gift, we sent him to NH (Where his parents live) for a week. So this year he won't be with us but we are going to give gifts next week. Anyway, my mom loves Halloween and I saw a wall hanging online and since I have a week I figured I could make her something else and I made my own pattern and did this today. I still need to finish it, but its my first applique pattern and it makes me happy.
