I haven't turned on my sewing machine in a few months. I just lost interest in it. But my best friend has been going through a horrible situation, and I thought it would be a perfect time to make her something. She loves orange flowers, so I made her this. I enjoyed making it so much that I have another wall quilt planned already. Just wanted to show it off. I think it turned out beautiful. And she loved it! It's called "Mellanie's Flowers" for my best friend Mellanie.

Beautiful thought. Beautiful quilt. Now, tell me, how did you hang the quilt on a "barbed wire fence"?You are brave!!!
