So sorry about your mom . I inherited my grandfathers embroidery one was an unfinished small table cloth with robins and holly. It took me 2 years before it was finished .one problem being I don't do Christmas since I lost my parents so I didn't need it. Now it is finished I feel a great satisfaction and a closeness to grandad that has been missing since he died. Something of his to touch and feel its lovely feeling on a lonely winters night. Trying to think if I can turn it into a quilt.
