    Oh, I knew it truly was your first ... just hard to believe with the amazing work you have been doing. You're closer to the end, than you think!

    ​Thank you OK! I'm not using a hoop, I pile my quilt on the table and just quilt. Maybe next time I will use a hoop or baste in a different way because this one has some puckers on the back

    How beautiful! Your work is outstanding. What a wonderful tribute to your mother. I have a memory garden but hadn't thought of a memory quilt. Thank you.

    Another nicely quilted pair .... I see PP is helping you!
    How appropriate to use your Mom's dishes to mark the circles!

    Beautiful blocks Anael, I see you have found a new way to keep the quilt on the table as you hand quilt

    Thank you my friends

    Mirabelle, she has to gain a bit weight as a 'quilt keeper'
