When I was a little girl, my mom sewed everything for us. When I got into junior high school she encouraged me to take a class they were offering. She said she would help me along the way. And that she did. She even wore the first shirt I ever made. I have spent a good portion of my adult life living in a different star / country. Even with that, mom has been there to cheer me on. When I started learning to quilt I was really scared of it. Mom was there saying, "You can do it.". And I did. I am working on my second quilt which is for my daughter. I hope I get the chance to make quilt for my mom to say, "Thank you." I am pretty lucky to have a special mom.
