When I saw this on her Etsy shop I had to have it and I am so glad I bought it as it is even more beautiful than the photo shows.

The chopsticks are real, the little fan is embroidered and the Kimono is a hand made miniature with a beautiful little brass button.
The whole wall haning is about 18" square and it is the first wall hanging I have ever bought.

Karmen, I thank for for making such a pleasure to my eyes.
Hugs and roses, Meganne

I might even start hand embroidery again. hahahaha!!!!

Hi Meg, gee that is really cute. I love the chocolate with the pink. It will look great on a wall in your home. Love and blessings Chris

It's actually maroon not chocolate, it just looks darker in the photo.
I plan to put it in my Asian theme room, when we build the extension up home but I like it so much I think I'll hang it over our bed until then. :-)

I'm working on it!
I bought a book, the A to Z of Quilting and I've been reading it and taking it all in, it's just those tiny pieces that have me worried, but Polly is going to clamp down on me when she comes back.
I so want to make it.
Hugs n love, Sis

Those tiny pieces can be done easily if you use paper piecing. But if you really want to make it the easy way, instead of paper piecing you can digitise the whole thing and stitch it in the hoop as I did with a couple of pincushions.
by meganne 19 Apr 2010
I somehow don't think I can make a queen size quilt in the hoop Martine. hahahahhahaha!
hugs n love, Meg
by mops 19 Apr 2010
Had no idea you would make it that big! Thought blocks!
by meganne 20 Apr 2010
I'm nothing, if not ambitious. LOL!!!

And when a friend sends you a whole 'Block of the Month' set, to make a QS quilt, then I think I had better learn how to quilt......
AND FAST! hehehehehehehehe.

I just don't have enough table room to throw such a large project around so I want to take it to our community class and make it there.
Hugs n love, Meg

I agree it's beautiful and since you've taken up quilting it won't be long before you can make your own. Thanks for sharing.

How Beautiful! I have a similar pattern, but haven't done anything with it. This inspires me a little. Makes me start to think of the fabrics I have to work with the pattern. Maybe put some type of embroidery on it also. thanks for sharing.

Oh how lovely! I really like the colors. Your friend is very talented. I know that you will be able to master quilting too. There are also quilt designs that you can do in the hoop, one block at a time and then sew the blocks together. I want to try that, but am planning to make a tablecloth first. Happy Stitching. ***

Meg I can see why you purchased it. sometimes we cannot make things that are so cute without the hassle. and besides you sure do need spoiling. Love it.
