I am hooked ;).. after my cardinals I was asked to do one for a dear friends mother... she used to be able to feed the birds but after a stroke last year is now in a nursing home;(. I hoped to bring her a view of the birds outside her window * in this wall hanging in progress..

That is one beautiful quilt. I just love the process..I would like to try it someday.

That is gorgeous! I can't wait to see more :D:D:D

You are such a wonderful friend. I just love it - how creative!!

Very beautiful!

Wow! That took a lot of patience to applique all those little pieces! Beautiful work! Absolutely wonderful!

MY friend died earlier this year of cancer and I have met his dear mom ( who lives in Pa) several times and she is a sweetheart .. it was my pleasure to do this for her . As I went along I found lady's bugs and butterflies and bunnies in my stash as well;). I know it will bring a big smile to her face. Can't wait to thread paint and the fun stuff now. Ps I used SOFT FUSE this time and I highly recommend it and loved it !! super easy to use.

The entire project took less than a couple of hours it went directly from my head to the fabric.. and using soft fuse made it really easy to do.

I am hoping the side panels of blue will look like curtains she is looking out onto the yard.. and will likely border it all with white windowsills next.

Your work is so beautiful.

You are one nice lady to make your friend's mother this.
She will really enjoy this for sure. :thumbup: :thumbup:
My MIL was in NH. one suggestion; put a name on it, so no one will take it. My MIL things were stollen when she pasted away!!!! it was awful!! Don't ever want that to happen to anyone, again.

Oh yes I think you are right... I will..put my name and her name on it. I imagine a few people will get a smile from it ;)

love the wall hanging. such a sweet heart.

I love it. Thanks for the step by step process

Looking fantastic and what a thoughtful idea - I am sure the recipient will love it.

MY friend wife's name is BEA thus the little Bea on the bottom left in the flowers. The butterfly is for my friend ( the recipients son) who died...( sign of rebirth.

Too cute!! Keep up the good work!

Oh how thoughtful and lovely. She will LOVE it.

that almost looks real, very pretty.

It's a great idea. When my Mom was in a care home (for 7 years) we bought & hung a bird feeder outside her bedroom window thinking it would be wonderful....NOT.... every time a bird flew in..the motion upset her...etc.... she was living with the results of a stroke.... I made a cute wall hanging for above her bed, and each season hung things throughout out the home.

That's incredible.. the recipient is going to love it, I know I sure would.

:):)

Beautiful!!!!!!!

Oh! How very thoughtful!! She is going to get so much enjoyment from the "view" you are giving her. Wonderful work!

Looking good

Absolustely Gorgeous. It looks like a quilt with a view. She will enjoy it I'm sure.

Will you post the finished product? I'm sure everyone will love to see it!

Wonderful!

Janice these are wonderful. It has opened my to a new way of looking.

Oh, how pretty. She will love it. It looks so real.

I know it will brighten her day. When Mama was in the nursing home, she and her roommate watched the birds at the feeder outside her window. The sun would be too bright at certain times of day, but with this landscape, she can see and enjoy it at any time.

So nice of you to brighten up this lady's day. People in the nursing homes need more people who will do things like this to cheer them up.

Bless you for doing this!

That is really cute. Thanks for the step by step. You really did a good job on that.

This is going to be beautiful. It is really fun to watch the progession, and I can't wait to see the next step.

what a wonderful idea, and you are a great friend to have. :-D :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful job I love the birds.

Beautiful. I love seeing piece by piece.

wow, you have very interesting fabrics to fussy cut

You may have just put yourself in business!! How nice of you to do this - so many things for her to look at instead of just 4 walls. Great job!

What "soft fuse" did you use? Was it Mistyfuse? Beautiful.

This is lovely so far and what a nice thing to do for your new "friend". I am sure she will always relate this to her daughter and of course, you being her friend.

Always ;):) do.
