Thanks everyone for your lovely comments.

I really wasn't too sure if it was to my mums taste, as in the U.K. the trends are for very neutral tones in the home, and this wall hanging is VIBRANT!!

But I think we can all see that she really loves it, and I found out she has taken around all the neighbourhood and my nieces school to show everyone, so that speaks volumes doesn't it!! :D

These were 1 euro each, they had a metal clip to attach to anything, but I took them off re-thread the beads, the big one at the bottom is heavy, pearlised glass in the form of a leaf...I didn't like my bottom corners as they were abit pointy so I disguised them with these dangly's and I think it works well :lol:

Thanks twisted!!, the butterfly was made out of angelina fibres, that stuff is amazing...the pictures don't do it justice, as it reflects like petrol, and it is very easy to work with, try googling it and search on images and you will see some amazing work with it!!

It sure does! I'd be doing the same! I remember seeing this on another topic. A beautiful quilt for a beautiful mother!
