Ma, I Did It!

FB post

Okay, achievement! Mom had been working on a quilt for years. Do a few stitches, back starts hurting, come back a few days later.... She left the quilt in the frames when she passed. One thing she said in the hospital was that we'd have to roll the quilt, cover it and put it away. I told her no, we wouldn't.

3 yrs later: figured today was a good day try to do it or we'd roll the quilt up and put it away, probably to never get it out again. I've always failed at the hand quilting before. My stitches aren't as good as Mom's but not bad!

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
