Back from a wonderful Change of View

We returned last week from a wonderful trip to the west, seeing family in Washington and hiking at Mt Rainier and then Glacier National Parks. Such stunning views everywhere we looked! Someday I hope to live in the west again ...


I returned home to a freshly serviced Bernina and ready to do some creating in between unpacking and thinking about getting the kids ready for school. These two linus quilts were cut and prepped and just what I needed to get back in the swing of things.



I finished the hand quilting on my Scarlett Rose Celtic wall hanging during our travels. I echo quilted with perle cotton and I like the texture it added. It was a quick job to add the edging and binding to this 19" square piece. I just did the center portion of the Celtic Rose Garden pattern and changed the flower pattern, but I'm pleased with the result and my dd is looking forward to hanging it in her room.
