Mandy, I will be on the look out for it! You will have to wait a bit, yours is still in construction mode. I'm not sure where the first part of July went, had my 8 year old niece for the past 3 wks and my DH has had some medical issues. Looking forward to some peaceful sewing time.

Sandie I have a plan and getting ready to draw it up to make sure it will work. If not I have a stand by idea but I sure hope this idea works it would be so cute.

Look, Look what what sailed into my mailbox! Thank you Mandy for the cute pieced sail boat. When I would visit my family in Chicago during the summer we would always go to Lake Shore Drive and watch the sailing events. This mug rug brings back happy thoughts.

so here it is... I hope...
Okay it worked...the yellow is fabric it is laying on... it is quilted with a metallic green thread with beautiful FMQ...on the back it is signed with FMQ I'll try to take some close ups later to post.

.....OK,, I'm smiling .... glad that you were happy with your strawberry. Smile I have to admit I'm really excited that I'm getting the hang of free motion .. did you recognize those things on there were strawberries quilted in?
Now be sure to use it ... it's meant to be used.
