\"P1100751<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago i was looking at the picture wire my mum has in her bedroom and realised that she has art from everyone else important in her life but not from me. I’m her daughter, my scribbles should be the first to adorn her walls! :)
\nSo I decided to remedy this by making something, and since I am in a quilt kind of phase at the moment I settled on a miniature quilt wall-hanging type thing.<\/p>\n

\"P1100754_crop<\/a> I had started collecting some green offcuts from the fabric shop over the last few weeks, though with no clear idea on what I was going to use them for, just something patchwork, obviously. So I put those together with a couple of other greens I had in my stash to make the background. The tree and the binding are of a fabric that mum had been looking at and going to buy when we did a joint purchase about a month or so ago but it ended up not making the final cut when we had to trim our cart to a reasonable size ;) I bought it instead because I liked it too and generally we try not to buy the same fabric as each other (though we do make exceptions sometimes). So using those for the tree and the binding means she gets to have that fabric anyway.<\/p>\n

I free-motioned the stitching on the tree applique, I did two passes and for one of them I used a zig-zag instead of straight stitch, to give a look sort of reminiscent of the markings on the scribbly gum<\/a>. It sort of worked.<\/p>\n

\"P1100768<\/a> The back is just a single piece of this leaf pattern, which is one of our rare exceptions to purchasing the same fabric. We found it in Spotlight a couple of months ago and were torn a bit about whether or not to get it because it was pink. We did get it and then from the information in the selvedge we found green and brown on eBay so got them too. I really love this fabric. I used some of the pink to line a small pouch bag<\/a> I made Stephanie, but this is the first I’ve used either of the others.<\/p>\n
