"Little Hats"

Finally got the border on my "little hats" wall hanging.  I have
been working on this forever, it seems.  Several years ago,
Vicki shared these sweet little hat patterns.  I knew
immediately that I would do these sometime in honor of my
Mother who was known as "The Hat Lady."  Mother had a
hat for every occasion and when she traveled always came
home with a new hat.

Mother has now been gone11 years and it is time I finished
the stitcheries and assembled them.  The binding will be made
from the fabrics surrounding the stitcheries.  Not sure how
long it will take me to quilt this as I want to do it by hand.

Once it is completed it will hang on my wall along with a
poem I've written about Mother and her hats as well as a
picture of Mother in one of her hats.


















Thanks Karen for you great suggestions!
