Inca's Christmas Wall Hangings

My friend Inca passed away in January this year.  😢

Maureen and I helped her husband go through her sewing things—which were very well organized - and we found a Natalie Bird Christmas panel that had been completed but not made up.
We thought it would be nice to make 4 hangers - Oone for each of her grandchildren.  We aimed to finish them by Christmas this year.
Maureen & I had a planning and cutting day and we each ended up with two piles of stitched blocks and various fabric squares.

We are finished with the hangers and will add a rod to each one to make them easy for the parents to hang.

Maureen's


I have finished a few quilts of Inca's as well as these and it brings back lovely memories...I can hear her talking to me as I work!

What a beautiful idea Susan and Inca would definitely have been cheering you on. A special memento for her beloved Grandies. It's difficult when someone is missing. Well done to you and Maureen xxx
