Bass Harbor Head Light


This wall hanging was made from a kit purchased at Sewing by the Sea in Trenton, Maine, a few years ago.  I visited this lighthouse with my son who lives near Acadia National Park where the lighthouse is located.  The shop, in nearby Trenton, has designed a series of patterns featuring different Maine lighthouses.  I switched out some of the kit fabrics, notably the sky, rocks and ocean, and added a couple borders to frame the picture.  The final size is 21 1/2" x 23".

NY themed row x row


This is a wall hanging called Home...A Light in the Window, made from a 2016 row by row design that I found at the Ivy Thimble Quilt Shop booth at a local quilt show.  Both the fabric and the row were designed for the shop by Joanne Galasso.  I loved the NY symbols in the fabric which framed the row, so bought the kit.  I've worked on it off and on since then, and finally finished it this week.   The finished wall hanging measures 22 by 48.  The only thing left to do is find a spot to hang it :).
