Carole,
An absolutely lovely gift!

Hope you will give this to her as soon as you're finished & not wait until Mother's Day.
Not to be too bossy or morbid, but we had many family plans of things to give/do
with my father for this past Thanksgiving. He never made it, passing away at 86, only
3 days before. Regrets are lousy.

Anyway, to end on a happier note, you are a dear daughter!

(p.s. I live in Georgia, too - south of Atlanta)

OH ! What beautiful ladies !

What a wonderful momento!!

I won't be there, unfortunately. I'll have to mail the gift, with an explanation. She's almost a 10 hour drive away from me, and at age 70 myself, I just don't do that kind of driving any more. She lives with my brother and his wife, so I'll mail it and have them give it to her, from me, on Mother's Day. I'm going to include a little book showing pictures of the project in progress, starting with the two handkerchiefs. I'm working on the photos now. They're small and old and in bad condition. I'm retouching, and turning them to a sepia color before putting them on a label. The first picture is me with my Grandmother Hill, and the second is me with my mother.

Carole I love what you have done and think its just lovely, the label with a picture of you all is a wonderful idea, let us know how the gift goes on the day.

That's a lovely gift. The flowers are beautiful. I bet your mother will be quite pleased. Lois

your wallhanging turned out great - fabulous job - and i can see how it can be great fun
you mum will love it - looking forward to seeing your label

I just took an online class on Craftsy.com (no affiliation) called "Beyond Basic Machine Quilting" by Ann Petersen. It's techniques for the domestic machine, not the longarm, although I'm sure it can be adapted. I had more fun!

I started with two linen napkins that used to belong to my grandmother. I put them side by side, and added a border. Inspired by the Cindy Needham episode that I had watched here on TQS, I decided to make a keepsake for my 91 year old mother for Mother's Day. I think it turned out really well. I've put a hanging sleeve on the back, but it could also just lie at the foot of her bed.

Now I think I'm going to use what I learned in Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero's printing on fabric class here on TQS to make a label that includes pictures of my grandmother, my mother, and me!
