It is beautiful! And, I am so jealous that your mama is getting a floor loom. But, I suppose it is only fair, I've only been wanting one for a couple years, and my children are much younger than hers. I can wait. :) Oh my gosh! It is beautiful!

She has been gone now since I was 18. And many times over the years I have wished I had paid attention. I have had quilt squares cut out now for almost 15 years. But never seem to find the time to put them into some type of design. Although really I think it is just the procrastination of being unsure of my abilities. So I can really admire the quality and care that you have put into that beautiful sweater for your mother. And what a lucky mother she is.

You deserve a blue ribbon alone just for perservering and finishing it! But it truly IS gorgeous, and your mom is a very lucky lady! It is simply GORGEOUS!

He is 13 and it still a work in progress. But I hate grannie squares!! And there are over 150 tiny granny squares and some of them are two colors, diagonal from opposit corners.
