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.
