I finally finished the wall hanging that I quilted for my pastors wife. I think she will be very surprised. I tried a darker binding that matched the fabric and didn't like it at all. So I ripped it out and started over with the white binding which I think frames the quilt nicely...

Kat, this is very true, I tried to think how much time and effort and fabric I put into this, fabric didn't cost much, but the time to embroider it and put it together did. :)

Your time IS your most valuable asset! Once it is gone, you can not get it back or replace it! The quilt is a very thoughful and nice gift for thr pastor's wife! I am sure she will appreciate it! Once you get my age, you will realize just how important time really is! I will be 64 12/26 and it seems like just yesterday whe I was bringing my 44 yr old son(12/16/66) home from the hospital. Time has not passed so fast until the last 7 or 8 yrs and I have no idea where it went to! I got old and crippled over night! Crippling arthritis is a real killer of alot of things. I have been fighting it for 18+ yrs but only did it really become deadly 7 yrs ago. When I had the surgery on my legs, I learned just how precious life was!!!! I am slow, cranky sometimes, and never want to go anywhere or do anything. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year(all 2011)! Hugs, Linda

Linda, I'm not too far behind you hehehe... I was diagnosed at 21 with RA and was told I'd be wheelchaired by the time I'm 60. That is only 1 1/2 yrs away, and I've had 7 knee surgeries and now 2 good knees (finally), but the RA is in my hands and back and it is very painful as you know...Embroidery keeps me going and also the sewing. I've started doing yoga exercises for my fingers wrist and neck and shoulders to help keep them limber. Hugs, Terre.... PS and yes it does make you cranky. hehehhe...

Be sure to share when you complete it. I don't remember where the flower and scroll designs came from, I'm thinking maybe from my machine, but I could be wrong.
