Well the day has finally arrived for Storm at sea now known as "Love calms the seas"
To be loaded onto the frame for hand quilting.
First l load the backing
Then the wadding and the flimsy
It is then all wound on and tensioned ready for the first few stitches
Here is the start of the quilting on the border
I am using Aurifil 28wt and no12 betweens for the quilting.

Beautiful work Wehago Designs/Wendy Gontier. Have enjoyed watching this come together right from the beginning. Your daughter is a very lucky girl to have such a clever mum.
