Been awhile, hasn't it?

I have had one heck of a year so far! Been so busy just trying to keep myself and my family healthy that my work has sort of been pushed aside a lot. However, things seem to be calming down finally so hopefully I can begin some creating on a regular basis again!
I DO have some work to share though. Below is a wallhanging I am doing for a customer.

Both the driver and the monitor "resemble" the actual folks. They pick up all ages of children, which is why 3 grade levels are boarding the bus.

This started out to be a simple little hour long job, but it just refused to let me do it that way. So I have invested a lot more time in it than originally planned and in fact, have lost money on the deal,,at least timewise. But I am hopeful that the publicity generated will make up for that. If not, it's ok, it will be another nice addition to my portfolio!!
Besides I really love making these little pictorial quilts :-)
