I thought I would share with you some pictures of quilts made from my mother's embroidered quilt blocks. She is 88 and going strong.

Wow, beautiful!!! Go Mom!!!!!

These are simply wonderful. I wish I could do that. I know you are proud of her. :D

Mom rocks!!!

They're beautiful! Is that hand embroidered?! That takes SO MUCH time!

Mary that is an awesomely gorgeous quilt. Can she be my mom for a few months :wink:

WOW!! Pretty, pretty!

You are so luck to have such beautiful quilts that your mother embroidered she does nice work.

Thanks for oohing & aahing.

Yes mom embroiders by hand. She is so fast that there are 3 of us girls she gives blocks to. We can't keep up with her so we asked her to take a break and make us each a tablecloth.

Now she is working on tops for our grandchildren.

Here are some more.

Beautiful handwork!

What BEAUTIFUL quilts!

Mary, these are wonderful.

I cant believe that rose quilt. What a treasure.

You and your family are quite lucky to have such a needlewoman among you. Mom, keep up the great work.

Those a stunning......such wonderful work....shoot man I'd be blind and needle stabbed to the bone after doing all that.......Fabulous

OH my gosh those are beautiful!!! Your mom sure does ROCK!!!

My sister Dawn said to tell her "I am awe!" :D Me too!

That is some amazing work. Go Granny!!!!!!!! She's a gem.

Please extend my compliments to your mom! Those are fabulous!

They are stunning. What work that goes into each one.

Hope I can still pick up (or even want to) a needle at 88. Your Mom is a treasure and if she wants any more daughters, I am a candidate

Wow! those are awesome. WAY TO GO MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow..beautiful!!! Ya'll are lucky girls and your Mom is a treasure! Let her pump out all she can and will...its ok if they pile up, you'll do something with them someday!

Oh that's beautiful work! My Mum taught me how to embroider when I was a little girl...and even now I cant resist buying anything emboidered.
Would your Mum like to adopt me? Then I could persuade her to embroider a rose for me! lol! (my eyesight's not what it was!)

beautiful work love the little girl quilt oh heck I love the rose too

:shock: WOW!!! Your mother is super talented!

That is so good that your mother still continues with her love of sewing, lots of people just give up, maybe because of poor eye site? I hope my eyes hold out for me.
I love the roses and the vines and leaves are beautiful, I wish I had seen this a few months ago. I'm making a border right now and I love her leaves better then the ones I'm using. I'll have to make a sketch so I can remember this pattern. Did she machine applique or embroidery the leaves? I'm doing mine by hand applique and I'm not really in any hurry, I've got the center of the quilt competed and hanging on a hanger waiting for the boarders.. One almost done and three to go!

Thanks for sharing and be sure to tell your mother her work is awesome! If she's in the market for another daughter... I know where she can find one!

Beautiful quilts.

Beautiful work!!! What a lady!!!!!!!!!!!

keep on quilting mama :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Absolutely stunning. A very talented needlewoman. Really something special to treasure.

Love them all.

This one is the one we made for our oldest daughters wedding several years ago.

Yes I do have the blocks stacking up. Someday.

Wow!!! You go Mom.

Wow! Your mom does beautiful work. That first one is stunning.

I think the first is my favorite too.

The last ones were my mothers. These aren't embroidery but they are my daughters quilts. I helped with her first one (the plaid one) and while she lived in Panama she made one with traditional Panamanian fabrics.

Just thought I'd share.

Mary

These are lovely! Your mother is INCREDIBLE! She is very talented! What beautiful handwork...You don't see as much handwork in this day and age. Your mother is a JEWEL!

Mary-thank you for sharing pictures of your mom's incredible handiwork with us. She is truly talented and you can see the love in every stitch. Your daughter's quilts are beautiful too.

i am truly in awe of your mother's skill and talent - does she use a pattern or are these her own creations?? My MIL embroiders, but not nearly to that degree. YOU GO MOM!!

Those are real heirloom's. Beautiful.

WOW those are all stunning.

Oh, Mary QC, ALL of your mom's work is gorgeous, but I have just fallen in love with the baskets. I am crazy about butterflies! Let her do all she wants to do. What a treasure you girls have.
