A Mother’s Love
This quilt was one of my favorites to work with! Brought to me by a wonderful woman who embroidered every block, she told me the story of how she was making it for her daughter. It has more work, joy, and talent, and love than any other quilt I have had the honor of doing. Here is a picture of the entire quilt:
Each block demanded different treatment, so we put our heads together, and came up with designs that incorporated hearts — to play on the theme of love and family. My favorite:
We added lots of hearts throughout the quilt, in many surprising places!
Receiving a hug from Leslie when this quilt was done was one of my happiest moments!

Robin,
OMIGOSH – that is GORGEOUS! She should enter that in a contest – and write an article for a magazine and take pix of it and send it in for publication. I’d love that pattern! What a lucky daughter! I guess that means I either have to hide this pic from mine or step up what I’m making for her graduation! lol
Actually, hers will turn out interesting – it’s a challenge concerning colors – I’m trying to take all the fabric I have from clothes I made her or clothes I still have (yes, we all know we keep some of those baby clothes because can’t part with them), any pix I have of her wearing them, and making a quilt utilizing them… . I am just starting – and am still trying to figure out a pattern. Maybe little hearts of the fabric inside the square or ovals of the pix might just be right. Thanks for the inspiration!
Blessings,
Sandy
