embroidered wall hanging
I used to make small wall hangings for my mom's door when she was in assisted living. She passed away last September. I took a class from Zandra Shaw and got the design in the class. I wanted to make something with it so I made a wall hanging. I hung it in memory of my mom and her teaching me to sew.

That is such a sweet thought. It's neat to think that every time you look at it, you will be reminded of your mother. It is very pretty. My mother is in Assisted Living. I need to do the same thing for her.

I read my newsletter but didn’t take the class. I love the 3D effect and you now make me wish I had. You did an excellent job choosing your threads and stitching. Sorry you lost your mom….😢
what color number and brand is your flesh color? I always choose the wrong color for flesh so usually avoid designs with people’s skin tones. I mainly use Threadart threads.

That is such a sweet memory of your mom. I know of several people who make wall hangings for their mom's door in assisted living homes which I think is a wonderful idea. It not only brightens up the door but is a joy for others to see. I heard that one mom always forgets which door is hers but she can easily find it by looking for her door hanging that her DD makes for her each month.
