So I finished a wall hanging that I found was too small to be hung in my designated spot, so it finds itself draped over the back cushion of our chair. I don’t know if it came out well in the picture, but the third one shows the border quilting. It was super fun to do.
This one I’ve had for quite a while, left over from last year’s quilt sale where I purchased it as a kit. Two weeks ago I decided I would finish it (the top was done) and give it to Bryn for her 4th birthday. I really wanted to make her one that matched her sisters’ but in yellow (Alaina’s is a purple sampler and Claire’s is pink) but I already had this one. So monkeys it is. I kept to my trusty cable border for this. I really love the cable look but it takes so long to do; SIX times going over on the same section.
I really am going to try to take a vacation from quilting for a while. I am way behind on scrapbooking (no way to ever get caught up, but I STILL haven’t done DisneyWorld from January) and there is major spring cleaning to do around here. And still the 3 years of family videos to make and burn on DVD. And I don’t want to do any of them.

so cute, Crystal. I wish I had the patience to do such beautiful work! good luck doing all the stuff you don't want to do. I have laundry to put away and a dishwasher to empty and yet here I sit reading blogs:)
