Here's a fun banner quilt I made for my Mom, to welcome her back to her apartment after her recent hip replacement surgery:
The surgery was successful and Mom is on the rise!

Interesting Facts: 1. Mom is 90 years old and she now reports being pain-free!
2. In Mom's senior apartment building, everyone decorates around their door. It really shows each individual's personality! Here's the left side of Mom's door, including a carved wood sign my Dad made (note the yo-yos made by Mom):
BTW, I used the following tutorial, called "Hang A Quilt Without Sleeves, Dowels or Nails", to hang it up.
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
