Default Mother's Day is coming
This is not a quilt, but I haven't seen these pillowcases in a while, and when I did I couldn't resist. Purple is my MIL's favorite color so I made them for her Mother's Day gift.

Those are lovely! Bet she will love them - I would! The best gifts you receive are the ones someone made for you specifically.

My MIL use to embroider pillow cases. Her pattern was usually a forest/deer scene.

That's so true... handmade with love, right? These bring back memories of ones my Grandmother & Mother used to make. I love these! Great gift! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work! How fortunate your MIL is to have such a thoughtful and kind DIL. She will treasure these.
