My Mom passed on in 1960 but she is the one who really inspired me at an early age to start sewing. I have a few of her hand pieced quilts that are quite old. I'm afraid to touch them much for fear they will start coming apart. I think of her very often and miss her dearly even after so many years. Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there and have a splendid day with your families. (This picture was taken circa 1946 when I was about 5 yo)
