Neither one has gotten into FMQ to hard on their hands but mom ties all the quilts. here are a coulpe pictues of their work the first is my nephew kyle's church graduation quilt. I actually did the blocks and never got around to setting them so gave them to them. they thought it was extra special that his aunt had mad the blocks.
the second is a second quilt my dad made using thangles. i was trying to get hin to do HST were still working on them but since I'm in Missouri and they are in Minnesota its a challenge. but I am very proud to have a dad that quilts!! Now I just need to get my husband quilting, but his support is AWESOME!!!
Your parent's quilts are beautiful. I am partial to the first one but both are very beautiful. I know how much work goes into making a quilt and they look very proud in the picture.
