I thought I'd share with you my two New Year's Eve wall hangings I made several, several years ago, the first in 1987. We we're spending New Years with our friends on the Mississippi (along with our young kids), that evening Donna and I each pieced a memory block (we've made several when our families would get together never putting them together)
This stayed as a block until 10 years later.
While working as a florist at a flower shop (that had the most beautiful, inspiring ribbons),
I bought a selection and made a basket full of roses for New Year's 1997.
I added a few rhinestone corsage fillers and some antique buttons from Donna.
I used one block for one side of the quilt and the other for the other side.
I hand quilted and bound them together.
I hope you have a beautiful New Year, I'll talk to you soon.
