Wall-Hangings for Orphanage Modules with Humanitarian Services

I was just sitting down to post the pics I took of all the cute wall-hangings when the battery died on my camera. :( I will post them soon....but in the meantime:

The Challenge was to create a wall-hanging to brighten up the walls of orphanages around the world. They were to be bright and appealing to children, no smaller than 18X18 and no bigger than 40X40 with loops for hanging (and a pouch of nails for hanging on the back.) The detailed requirements are available at http://www.ldsphilanthropies.org/humanitarian-services/
Look for the link on the right that says PDF Patterns. They have a wide variety of needs that can be met by crafters and designers of all levels of experience...including NONE. (Some of the things they need can just be purchased! :)

The Tote Bag Prize will be awarded to the wall-hanging with the most "comments" by the next meeting. This means you have about 3 weeks to send this link out to your Grandmas, Aunties and Nieces so they will comment for you...but only if you want the prize. (There will be a small amount of bragging rights as part of the prize package. hehehe)

All the members of our group are at very different levels of experience. The pieces that have been designed and executed by ALL of the participants represent great strides forward in technique with MANY being the very first effort by our members.

As I will just be posting the picture itself as a separate entry, each designer should comment with a little about their experience making it....that way everyone has to vote for themselves as well as others. hehehe With that in mind, as the host of the Challenge, I will post my pics with my explanations, but since I made the Prize I don't want to win it. You can comment, but they won't count. hehehe

In case it wasn't clear, ANYONE can comment on the wall-hangings, not just those who participated in the challenge.

Great work for our very first Charitable Adventure! k.

The Cursed Quilt Group actually meets in person, but we would love to have you quilt along in our online community. Please keep it friendly and supportive...many of us are beginners.
