DescriptionIn my quilting guild (NHQG) we were asked to do a wall hanging of a woman that most inspired us. My mother inspired me the most. Growing up, my mother exposed us (my brother and sister and I) to so many different things, and took us many places. My mother and father taught a lot of family values. In my wall hanging, I gathered pictures and photo transferred them using an Inkjet printer. I cut them out and placed them on the background fabric. I used the zigzag stitch around the pictures to hold them in place, added two borders, and used batting.
