Just beautiful! She did a great job - and I hope she's proud of it!
Your Charley looks just like my Spooky. It's hard to get good pictures of
them when they're solid black, isn't it? But it's obvious he has very good
taste in quilts!

Thanks Louise! Yes, I think she's proud of it. She said she was even
getting to enjoy the machine quilting a bit, that having the different
blocks and borders made her stretch her skills. It didn't hurt that the
swappers gave her such a bunch of beautiful blocks to work with either.
She stitched in the ditch around your maple leaves--a technique we've
both been afraid to try due to having to be soooo accurate--and it
really made the leaves pop. :-)
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

Me again Louise. I signed off without saying all I intended. Duh!
Yes, I find taking good pics of Charley very challenging. Glad to know
I'm not the only one! He seems to look especially good on that
quilt--and I think he knew it! LOL!
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

That finished up beautifully. She did do a terrific job.
How fun that you and your mama can enjoy the fun
of quilting together. That is neat.
Thanks for sharing.
