I had a particularly hard year after having surgery on a heart valve last Feb. As I was thinking about what to give my older daughter for Christmas, I saw an article in American Quilter on continuous prairie points. There was also a pattern for a wall hanging using the technic on a version of wisteria. I decided to learn how to do this technic (the neatest thing since sliced bread) and made my own version of the wall hanging. When I gave her her gift at Christmas, I had to laugh because I had made it completely from my stash and had done no shopping for it. It has encouraged me to search my stash for new materials for new projects this year. By the way, she loved it. It was in the Nov issue of American Quilter 2011.
