I have not had much time for sewing the last few weeks and thought I would share one of my mom's quilts with you tonight. Mom makes most of her quilts by hand, and this one is no exception. It is hand appliqued, each block hand quilted individually and then the sashing sewn on by machine on one side and hand sewn on the other side. Its a beautiful quilt and one that she gave me several years ago - I treasure it dearly.I have also included some pictures of a close up of one of the applique blocks, one of the quilted blocks and the quilt back. My photography skills are not that great, but I hope you can see her beautiful work
Mom is not doing very well these days. She is 88 and was recently hospitalized, and just not bouncing back like she has in the past. Please keep her in your prayers.

My Auntie made one of those. She used some Hawaiian fabric for the flowers. I have a photo of it here:

This is truly a treasure. Your mother's work is gorgeous. You and your mother are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.
It's lovely Teresa and I know it means so much more to you because it was made by your mother. Thinking of you.
Me again. Thanks for visiting my blog, Jane, and entering the drawing for the Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
What an amazing and special quilt this is...what a treasure you will have from her for the rest of your days! See what all she got done without blogging...LOL....
I noticed this quilt first, then read about your mother. I haven't look further at your blog, but I hope your mother is better. Mine is 82.5 and quilts also. God bless you both!
