Hi @manpass! I’d like to welcome you to the NeedleWorkMonday Community! I see that @lauramica has already given you some valuable information and guidance on posting ;)

This entire post is beautiful. How you are honoring your mother and wanting to surprise her to the beautiful purse you created. I love the colors you added to it. I can see why this particular leather is used for the bags because it looks very easy to clean and wipe off.

I’m sure she will love this gift from you and I hope she enjoys wearing it.

Enjoy yourself here and please don’t hesitate to ask for help if needed. We hope you take the time to mingle and get to know the other needleworkers here as we strive to be a supportive and appreciative community ~
