This is a wall hanging I made for Dad's 80th, entitled, Memories of a country life. I changed it slightly to suit Dad. Guess what , we won 1st prize at the local show. Took me 1 FULL week of machine applique, not much sleep, but rewarded with the smile on Dad's face.
42046WOW !!!What an awesome idea,
