I thought I would share another quilt with you tonight that my mom made. This quilt is at least 62 years old as she made it when my oldest brother, Michael, was born and used it with each of us after that. Then as her grandchildren came along, each of them got to lay on the quilt as well. I have the youngest child, and so it became mine. My grandchildren have also lain on this quilt and it is so precious to me. Mom and Dad were Marines when they met and married shortly after being discharged from duty at Pearl Harbor during WWII. 
The yellow border on this quilt is made from a windsock from the air base at Pearl Harbor. 
Don't you just love the stitchery patterns on this cherished quilt. It is hand stitched from start to finish.
We are enjoying having Mom live with us. She and I have spent a lot of time together sewing and just talking. While we watch tv or just sit together I have been handquilting butterflies on Taralyn's quilt. She is due to arrive by Nov. 20 - but actually could be any day now. I have five more butterflies to do - guess I better get stitchin!Thanks for stopping by,Teresa

The Jack and Jill on this quilt are adorable. I'm so glad you are creating more wonderful memories with your mom. Enjoy!
That is so sweet. Jacob has been on the quilt that my mom cross-stitched for me. & he has been on the double bed sized quilt that my great-grandmother made in the 30's.
What a treasure to have Teresa! Both the quilt and your Mom! blessings, marlene
