Taking a break for some sewing...

We've been in full blown moving mode for two weeks now.  We've had a yard sale, packed boxes and boxes of book and decorations and more.  The living room is a disaster and there is still two weeks before we close on our condo.

Needless to say the last thing I have wanted to do is pull out my sewing machine and make more of a mess, but in honor of the Friday Night Sew-In and my need for some down time I did just that. 

A couple weeks ago I was looking through an old magazine and found this tree quilt pattern.  I pulled out my scraps and found enough to put these three blocks together to make a wall hanging.  The garlands are all glass beads that I've had a fun time putting on at night, without making any more of a  mess of the house. 

Last night I got the binding attached and sewn.  This has to be the first project I have finished in ages.  I'm next going to work on getting the flowers hand appliqued onto my pink and brown quilt.  I must say moving is helping getting some things finished!
