It just needed binding

I've had this wallhanging done and just needing binding for quite a while. We watched Casa Blanca for the first time Friday night so I was able to do the binding. We have been trying to watch some classics but in most cases we aren't impressed! Thankfully they go back in the mail to Netflix.

I stitched the blocks last year from Alex Anderson's site and added colored pencil to them. I had a bunch of 2.5" squares of 30's fabrics so that was the setting squares.

I received the blocks for these American Hero quilts last July and August and set them together into tops and finally got the borders on. One of my yahoo groups hosted a sew-in New Years weekend to work on blocks and quilts for the project. I mailed three tops off Friday.

I'm back from blogger hiatus!

I hope I can keep up blogging now that I decided to take the plunge and start again. My daughter Lisa told me it had been six months since my last post. Really? I told her I had a plan to start on March 1st but I am doing it a couple days early!

I don't know where the fall went and then of course was Christmas and mostly I just did quilting for others. I will slowly try to catch up on photos.

January and February have not been great with several health issues (mono was just the start and I'm still fighting the tiredness of that) but I managed to finish a quilt top today. I started the embroidery after Christmas from Alex Anderson. I used colored pencil to fill in the embroidery and really enjoyed that. I used a bunch of 2.5" 30's squares from my friend Deb, who unfortunately passed away recently. I should have tried to brighten the photo a bit.

On the way back from Deb's memorial service in central WA I stopped at Palouse Falls. I love waterfalls and the landscape around this is so impressive. My friend Robin had not been there before and it was a nice break in the drive.
