    and I would like to thank once more for all your support. The appliqued angels are designs from JuJu and made on my embroidery machine. For the quilting I mainly went by QID (had to drop all my plans as it would have been too much), just over the fabric with the clouds I meandered to get the 3D pinwheel and the quardian angels out.

    It will go to a lady expecting her first baby in October. She works in a Mothers/Children meeting place from the community and my grandson just loves to go there and adores her.
    The footprints on the back are from some children visiting that place regularely. There was no way to go for a project where each mother/grandmother would have made a block and this way I think it is still a reminder to the lady, where and why she got it from.

    It's adorable. The woman will know that you care about the little extra things that she does for your grandchildren. It's a nice way to show her that she does her job well.
