Years later while on staff at the same camp, one of my coworkers found out I had been the person behind the quilt and told me how it had been her favorite quilt!
Flash forward to this summer, when that same coworker got married to the love of her life. I knew I didn't have the time or energy to make a full sized quilt, so I made them this wall hanging. Hand appliqued, beaded, and quilted.
They loved it! In their words "We absolutely love the beautiful wall hanging. Thank you so much for putting so much time and love into our present. It means the world to us."
Here's to homemade gifts with meaning, and sharing handmade love!
