My Mom's First Attempt
My mom is quite elderly and blind in one eye
which does not stop her from trying new things.
She purchased a new sewing machine in order
to do free motion quilting. She loves hummingbirds.
They nested outside her kitchen window in California.
The photographs that she kept in her album became
fodder for inkjet copies to go onto her new shopping
bag along with her free form quilting. Added are
baby colorful shell like dots. I told her I would share
this with the world because I am proud of her effort.
It seems we can all have moments of pure joy no matter
our age. Young or old it is fun to experience the moment
because that is all we really ever have.

Marvelous. How wonderful that she is trying to learn new things. That is the best. I think she did a great job. Be sure and tell her so.
Beautiful job Mom! All that you do is beautiful to me, as are you!
Love,
Shirley
