I thought that was a little bit strange, but she explained that it was relaxing to her.
So recently after a short hospital stay, she stayed with us. I taped fabric to a foam board, traced a quilting template design on it, and gave her my big box of crayons and told her to color the picture.
Well, I ironed the wax out of the fabric, then trapuntoed the design and stippled the background. Made into a great pillow for her to take home. I'll show you a picture. I was pretty happy with how it all turned out.
So I'll steal the stage here for a minute... hope no one minds much...
hugs, Jup

HI DeeCee, I think we both did a better job of picking colors this time around. Love your black and cream star points.
