33. “Double Irish Chain Wall Hanging” by Leah Cuthbert

I made this little quilt many many years ago (circ. 1989) when my now adult children were toddlers. The quilting and the applique were done by hand. It's amazing when I think back to myself as a working mom and all the hand quilting I did when my 3 kids were under the age of 5. I laugh at myself because now I'm trying to learn free motion quilting on my sewing machine because I'm too busy to quilt by hand! I'd love to regain the energy and organization skills I had when I was in my twenties – but it makes me tired just thinking about it. :-)
