String Star wall hanging

String Star wall hanging by doodledodesigns
This little guy is done! So bright and fun, I can't stop staring at him. His name is Hank. We're in love. Don't tell my husband.

String Star wall hanging


Hand quilted with some DMC embroidery floss. Not the fancy perle #8, but that's how I roll. Trying to use what I have, you know?

I think this mini quilt/wall hanging thing is going to become my newest obsession. At least it's a cute obsession.

You can read more about the String Star wall hanging, including links to the inspiration and tutorial, here.

    It looks gorgeous Kristan, I love the hand quilting on it! I fyi it took me at least 3 tries to go through word recognition and I'm not done yet...
