Finished mom's quilt and matching tote!

Leslie, it's just the sweetest and most beautiful thing ever. You mom is going to love it. You did great with the colors and the quilting and ... .everything. Not only that, but anybody can see the love you put into it.

Hugs, Sunny

Now isn't that just lovely! Well done, Leslie.

Howdy!

This is charming. I think Estelle's dragonflies may be looking for this Garden.

Best wishes to your mom. And her quilting daughter.

Looks wonderful to me! Your work speaks for itself... you are no longer a "beginner" free motion quilter!

I'm sure it will bring great comfort!

That's really nice...did you make the tote as well? She's going to love it.

Looks really soft. A fabric hug!

My quilts, crafts, QIs, and more -

Oh, they're *wonderful*, Leslie! If I were your mom, I'd love them. I really like the way the tote coordinates without exactly matching the quilt -- and the quilt itself is just gorgeous! I do like delicate colors -- and bright colors, and subdued colors, and .... ;)

It's beautiful, Leslie! Your Mom will love it!

Very, very nice. She'll love it. Gen

'Tranquil' - a great word to describe it Estelle. . In message , Estelle Gallagher writes

Terrific! Sometimes delicate colors appear too subdued for my taste, but this one has a very lively personality. Sending good thoughts for your DM. PAT in VA/USA

Looks great Leslie. I'm sure your mom will love it!!

Leslie - your mom's quilt and tote are WONDERFUL!!!!! I absolutely love the quilting you did on it! The quilt looks very snuggly which is what you were trying to achieve, I'm sure.

What pattern did you use for the tote? (I haven't looked at the other replies to your post so you may have already answered my question!)

Again - wonderful work!!!!

That is lovely... You say it is your SECOND free-motion quilt?

Wow, again. Congratulations on such a beautiful project.

Well, yes and no. I used to try to free motion with the feeddogs UP. I was afraid of the complete loss of control with them down. My stitch length was a little better with them up, but my 'shapes' weren't as smooth. So it's only the second with the feeddogs down. Kinda corn-fusing??? LOL
