I think I speak for both of us when I say we are VERY excited about this wall hanging!! The seed was planted back in March and now it is ready to go to its new home! PennyWyo and I collaborated on "Mistral" by Toni Whitney. She started off in New Hampshire as a kit from Keepsake Quilting, stopped in southwest Texas for a bit to be appliqued then headed up to Wyoming for the quilting and now is back in southwest Texas where she will live once she is delivered to her new owner either this weekend or next. This is one tired horse!! She'll be living with that friend I did all the curtains and pillows for earlier this year who is a personal favorite of both of ours and she is the reason that I am blessed to know Penny! My part was cut and paste and follow the directions... Penny did the skilled labor and did a fabulous job, as usual! I think we make a good team! Here's some close-ups:

Another raw edge, fused, applique. My sister liked the one I made for mom so much that we agreed to a trade... she now owns "Catnip" and I own an original design of hers... a sterling silver pin with the face of a cat she's named Celeste!

Mom introduced me to the wonderful artwork of Charley Harper a few years back. This is fused, raw edge, appliqué. I made this for her for Christmas a two years ago.
