Turned into my mother...
Hello, I am new to the quilting board and will tell you a little about myself through a story.
I was the baby of the family, was the last to leave home and was a little bit of a rebel. As I made my way in the world, I made a vow that I would NEVER be like my mother! Fast forward to me turning 40 and taking my first quilting class. As I started down the Quilting path, I found I had more in common with my mother. Now that I am past 50, I realize I am just like my mother except she does beautiful hand piecing that I don't seem to have time for. Thanks for letting me share. |
welcome agree think am just like my mom too,lol
|
Welcome to the Board! I can only hope to be like my mother! I think of her often as I quilt, and now that I am in my 50s I wish that I listened to her more closely when she was in her 50s.

Hi.. and welcome from NY
I wish I was more like my mom.. Even though she is not creative.. I take after my dad in that way.. My mom is awesome.. She is extremely kind, and thoughtful.. Every day I try to learn more from her.. I try to be as patient as she is.. I hope she will be around forever.. I feel like I never learned enough from my dad before he passed away at 84.. Barri |

Many of us have said this and I think we all do turn out somewhat like our mothers

Welcome Fritzer1. Perhaps your Mother was a bit like you in her earlier life and you always had a lot more in common than you are now realizing.
|
I am new too.. Welcome....The nicest thing anyone can say to me is that I am like my mother. I would give anything to be able to sit and quilt with her again

I feel like I got my sewing ability from my mom, but I don't think I'll ever be as good as she was. She told me not too long ago that she never had problems reading a pattern. I certainly don't have that gift!! lol |
