    I love seening things like that. i did a quilt for a grandson, that had every thing embroidered in blue and was of a little country boy fishing and all kinds of things, and coordinated it's color with the blue thread. Didn't get that pretty machine quilting done, but the embroidery was a lot of work and he is still using it. Good job on that. It sure is pretty.

    Beautiful and priceless. You did very well with the quilting on this quilt. Love it and think of your Mom each time you use it. I just lost my Mom in March. Keep up you good work.

    Absolutely lovely. What nice work your mother did. In my opinion your quilting does it justice and I know you are happy to have it with you. Great job!

    This quilt is beautiful, but what surprised me is that you said you haven't been FMQ very long. The work done on this quilt is quite good, sure wish I could do it like this. You must be a natural at it. I'm glad your Mama's quilt turned out so good, you will certainly cherish it.

    It is priceless, gorgeous and lovely. I think you are too modest. Your quilting gets a purple ribbon for "over and beyond beautiful." Thanks for sharing. It is indeed a special treasure.
