 About 6 wks or so ago I went to the grand opening of a new quilt store with a quilt friend.  It's a tiny shop (as in it has less fabric than I do in my stash!), but I did find this quilt panel and loved it.  The store had it made up into a pillow, but I decided to make a wall hanging with it.  I added buttons to represent all the places that I've lived over the years.

The back was pieced from the coordinating charm pack, and then bound with a Moda Grunge that went with all of it.
The quilting was designed to look along the lines of a topographical map.
Gratitudes:
1. For all the friends that I've made everywhere that I've lived.
2. For those friends that I've made over the years that I'm still in contact with.
