Wall Hangings

I made wall hangings for each of my daughters and son in law's for Christmas.

The first picture shows the one I made for my eldest dd. She wanted one in earth tones. Well, I include shades of brown, green, yellow, orange, etc in earth tones but, she dislikes all of those colours, with the exception of brown. While looking for fabrics nothing seemed to speak to me, however, I did find this panel, so made a whole cloth quilted wall hanging. I like the way it looks and she did too.
My youngest dd wanted one that was blue, the picture below is the one I made for her.

Because they are both quite large they are going to be hung above the head of their beds.

The next one you have seen before, its was made some time ago for my son and dil. They are going to hang it in their dining room.


Thanks for visiting.
