The piece was machine quilted, then the family photos were attached over the house photo with hand embroidery stitches. Simply embellished with my Grandmothers' mother-of-pearl buttons, a small key and a Habitat for Humanity charm that says "Bless this House", exactly the right concept for this challenge quilt. When I read what the final word would be "Home", my musings were that it seemed so fitting...our first word was "Sanctuary" and our final word was "Home". Many times I've said, "my home is my sanctuary" and I've always hoped that I've created a "home" for my family that gives them that warmhearted feeling.
Jan, this piece is perfect, and your description really brought it to life. You know, when I was asked to choose the last word for this long set of challenges, I didn't realize its connection to the beginning. I thought of it like "home" on a board game...the last landing place. So, bravo.
