Wonderful......just wonderful !!!!!!!
|
Sheri, Those are wonderful quilts and a perfect way to tie the generations and quilts together. I love the fact that the all of the quilts are the same but different.
And yes there are some of us who still check this thread. Looking forward to the rest of your finishes!:) |
Sheri, I love them all!! Can't wait to see the rest.
|
Sheri, what a sweet, generous, caring person you are to make such meaningful quilts for your family. Well done!
|
Yes, this thread still pops up. Love the quilts that have been done and amazed that several folks have done more than one. Retirement hasn't been retirement for me. It will be awhile before I can actually do another mystery train, but I like to ride along and see all the pretties!
|
Wonderful use of all those tiny HST.
|
Sheri, your latest quilts are just as lovely as the previous ones. Your mother-in-law is a lucky lady to have you as a daughter! She she get two quilts? I love your "waste triangles" quilt and now have an idea of what to do with all of mine.
|
Ditto all of the above, Sheri. Great job.
|
Oh....you ladies are all so sweet. You have been my inspiration here!! I deeply thank you for that. You give me tears.
I actually went to Idaho the first of July for my stepfather's funeral. He was so good to my mom. My trip was only scheduled for four days, two to travel and one for funeral business and one to visit family. The Friday I went to visit I walked into my Inlaws house and found my FatherInLaw sick from breaking his shoulder. MotherInLaw in tears from the weariness of caring for him. Needless to say, I stayed the help. My FatherInLaw deteriorated before my eyes and passed the following Friday. I believe God works in mysterious ways and I was meant to be there at that time. I still call my sweet MotherInLaw each day and give her updates and send pictures of each quilt progress. I shared my Grandma Triangle here: :D http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t230177.html |
What a wonderful thing for you to do...you are their living angel! Beautiful quilts!!!
|
Very nicely done. Love them!
|
Love the quilts!

Hey Scrappy Mystery Train ladies. I did it!!! All 23 tops finished. Here are the last three and if you want to see them all, I made a Grandma Quilt album in my profile. There's a link in my signature line below. Each quilt is named for the grandchild that will receive it. You see they called me back to Idaho the end of September to care for my MotherInLaw who had taken a turn for the worse. While we were there she picked which quilt would go to each grandchild. She passed away October 4. Exactly eleven weeks after her sweetheart passed. Isn't life crazy? And so precarious.
I have to thank Judy again for this pattern. It was just what I needed, just when I needed it. All the quilts are so wonderful and the kids are all excited to receive them. (I promised them for Christmas.) |

SheriR, those are great! You must be able to do that pattern in your sleep by now!
|
Astonishing! What an unbelievable job!
Sorry for your loss, she left everything in great hands. |
Checked out your album and what nice quilts. The legacy of your Mom picking them out for each grandchild is wonderful!!
|
Just wonderful! Great memories for all those GKs and you. Quilting is such a wonderful healer and helper. Thanks you for sharing your story and that terrific link to see all the great quilts. and yes thank you Judy for this pattern it is now my "go to" pattern always fun always different and each one a treasure. God bless - and don't we just have so much to be thankful for! Thanks to each of you on the board! "God bless us every one".
|
Beautiful! That's a lot of scraps!
So sorry for you loss but what a wonderful story to go with the quilts! |
Sheri, What a great job you did. It will be one of those important family stories that will be handed down with the quilts, maybe for many generations. I love that she picked out where each quilt went because she saw something in each quilt that reminded her of that person. It is a good pattern, thanks Judy for introducing it.
|
Sheri, all the quilts are beautiful! Your taking on the task (bet it really was a "task" when done with so much love) is to be admired and I'm sure the grandkids will cherish them. I've enjoyed being on this journey with you. Thanks!
|
Oh my goodness Lady what an incredible act of love for Grandma and all those kids. You are to be commended from afar. You did a fantastic job with all those blocks. So sorry for your loss.

You have all made me feel so good. Thank you. I still have 22/23 to sandwich and quilt. I'm thinking by Christmas my FM skills will be very much improved. As soon as my grass is dry again I plan on laying them in the front yard and taking a picture of them all together. Then the mailing will begin. I'll show y'all a pic when I get it taken. :D
|
I just finished viewing all of your lovely quilts! What a wonderful feat! Everyone will love and treasure their quilt made from
their Grandmother's stash. You are to be commended for accomplishing such a loving gift to your Mother-in-Law. |
Well done Sheri. I also like your quilt label. :thumbup:
|
I can't wait for the next train ride.

Don't worry Judy, we'll be patient ... sort of! LOL
I haven't unearthed my machine or cutting table since the holidays ... no hurry here. Congrats on the new machine, just sorry it had to be a breakdown that did it! :) |

Better late than never, right? Had these ready to finish for a niece's twins and they got to the bottom of my "to do" bin. Judy, I loved this mystery and have another one started for a quick gift later when needed. The other little crib quilt is just another scrappy.
|
Very pretty! Soft little girl colors.
|
Like your colors. Don't feel bad. I still have not quilted mine.
