Winter Wall Hanging

I recently completed this Winter Wall Hanging.

It went through a few design stages

but I'm pleased with the final result.

The pine bough is simple thread art by machine.

The applique is raw edge secured with more thread art.

I still enjoy using this method to add dimension 

and interest to a quilt.

This project counts as a scrap/stash buster,

I didn't purchase anything to make it....although

my selections of scrap fabrics and especially thread colors are 

dwindling.  That's not a bad thing....just means I need to 

plan ahead instead of simply assuming I have a thread color that

will match any applique project.

This wall hanging will find it's home in my office at work.

Today's a snowy one in southern Pennsylvania.
Hoping it clears enough to go to a family Christmas gathering.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
