I was supposed to be at quilt retreat this weekend but was needed at home, as my mom is not doing well. I did get a little sewing in, and wanted to share with you a very wonderful project. I was helping my mom clean up her sewing room and came across this pretty Penny Rug she had made years ago, and which unfortunately a little mouse had discovered too. Momma said she could not bring herself to throw it away, and had been keeping it for years now wanting to mend it. I just fell in love with it and I believe its the only Penny Rug my mom had ever made. So I asked her if I could mend it for her. and that is what I worked on this weekend. 
Here is the mended Penny Rug - and better still - she gave it to ME!
I also completed my Noah's Ark Wall hanging. 
This was a fun project to do .
I hope you all had a great weekend, and to my quilting friends at White Oak - you were in my thoughts and I know you had a great time. I can't wait to see the projects you worked on!
Happy Quilting,
Teresa

Your Noah's Ark turned out lovely. I liked the way you put it together.
I hope your mom is feeling better today Teresa. What a treasure to have that penny run -- you deserve it for repairing it!
The penny rug is a treasure because it's beautiful and because your mom made it! I love the Noah's Ark piece. I've printed those patterns but haven't started them yet. blessings, marlene
