TA DA!
I began working on this wall hanging quite some time ago. I need to do a little research through my quilting journal to figure out how long I've been working on this but those of you who have been following my blog know it's been a long time. My sister Ida made the little house in the center which became the focus of the wall hanging. She first made a little house block like this for Beth's Neighborhood Party one year and I commented on how much it looks like our ranch house so before I knew it, Ida had made one for me. It's surrounded by hexie flowers which I've been sewing on forever. By the way, some of those green hexies just below to house were made by our own Anthea. She sent some to Ida for her OZ wall hanging and Ida gave me a few because they fit so well with mine.
Click here or on the photo below to find out Anthea's blog at "Hibiscus Stitches" to see what others are doing with their hexies.
That is all.
