Love it!! It is projects like this that are calling me to take up quilting – as if I need another hobby to drain my wallet.
This is an amazing project. Can I adopt you so that I can expect something like this on Mother’s Day? She must be thrilled.

I can’t stop looking at this! I want to give it a try. I know I can do a lot of the stitching on my machine but how the heck do you get a machine to stitch the small circles on some of your pages? I don’t think I can get mine to do that. Is there hand-stitching involved? I could probably get my hands to do some of that work -lol.

This is so neat! Julie I love it – I’m sure your mom was thrilled. Seriously – give me some sewing advice. I’m fine with straight lines, but anything that’s too curvy just gets all tangled up on my machine.
