Hi. What kind of hanging sleeve is expected on the back of the hanging? Should a label be on it? I better go read a past wall hanging post. I saw the finished pictures from the Nov - Feb hangings and they are adorable! The birthday candy swap has me loaded with 2.5" candies and I am yearning for quilting time to play with something small and pixelated. I will be lurking!

Most will put a label on it or send a card with the Wall Hanging. some will send extra goodies with the WH and some don't. It really is up to you whether you do a sleeve or not. There are other ways to hang other than a sleeve. You can put corners on the back corners and that can serve as a hanger. Whatever you like! Just have fun and enjoy the swap!
I hope you join us in June! You just have to have a WH ready to mail by the last day of June. And you have to pm me when you are ready to mail. I have to have a pm or you won't be on the list who gets an address to mail to.
Happy Quilting!! Rhonda

Just dropping in to check on everyone! Hope your spring is bringing you warmer weather and beautiful flowers!!!
We've been in the 40's to 50s here in Iowa with lots of winds lately.
Hope you all are sewing away!! I made an eyeglass case for myself as I got new glasses. The gal at the eyeglass store wanted to give me a plastic eyeglass case. I said no thanks I'm a quilter I'll go home and make my own eyeglass case LOL She kept saying but they're free!! But I so much prefer the one I made. LOL Plastic case over a quilted one?? no comparison LOL
