Fun Impromptu project for my friends birthday

I am so inspired by my friend Kim and her amazing family, that when I saw this photograph of her adult children and in-laws together on her mother in law's birthday,I wanted to do something to honor how happy I am to know such amazing people. The fact that her birthday is in November and Thanksgiving one of her favorite holidays, motivated me to do this.

I had so much fun making this I was laughing and smiling the whole time!

Now to frame it! ( Loved this project- got to do all my favorite things make up my own thing/design, select fabric,applique, embroidery, draw, color!!! I was pleased with the process...I just hope Kim likes it 1/10th as much as I do lol!!)

October project finishes!!

Felt like I am not accomplishing much lately,but then I reviewed this months projects. I realized I got more things finished than I thought!

I now have a finished portable travel kit to carry my hexagon English paper piecing projects.( Thanks to a  great tutorial on The Zen of Making blog spot -link included, and a group effort of my friends Betsy and Jenifer and I!)
