Very lovely wall hangings, quilters. All so colorful. Nice job. Love the embroidery, RedGarnet222. Welcome to our group.
I know I have been away from the board for a while, but I have been busy. Learning new things, relearning old things, etc Found out, if you are learning something new like ruler work quilting, don't pick black thread to use on black fabric. Totally unable to see stitching. A good thing as it hides mistakes but very bad for learning to match starts and stops.
I got my wall hanging done and sent info to Rhonda. Can't post pic but will let you know it is called 'Heart of My Heart" by Susan Purney Mark. Think pink/green/black/lights; applique hearts, etc. Always wanted to do the pattern and now I have done 3. One for WH swap, one for myself, and one for Christmas 2022. So much fun.

M-Fay, Your WH is stunning! Was this from a pattern or out of your head? If it was out of your head, how do I get in there to take a peek? LOL I never seem to have any ideas like that floating around in my head but wish I did.

Lena my swap partner in the pin cushion swap sent me a Ricky Timms book of convergence quilts. I'd seen them but couldn't work out how it was done.i love how it's done and have made another one for my daughter. Then I applique a kangaroo paw flower on it.
