Some of you know that I taught my 84 years young mom to quilt. Her hands are not cooperating with her much any more, so she hasn't been doing too much sewing lately. She is now almost 87 years young.

I called her this a.m. to ask what she was doing, and basically check up on her.

Her answer: "Making mug rugs"! I didn't even know she knew what mug rugs were!!! LOL

I just love her!!!

Well, she is a quilter....:) How fun:):):)

AWESOME

Moms listen too....Good for your young 87yr old MOM
U go MOM!!!!

Good for you to teach your Mom to quilt, now she has another useful thing to do. Great for her too.

That is so SPECIAL!!! Yay Mom!! Yay Janice for teaching your Mom. :D

I can't wait to see them! Go Mom! :D:D:D

that is great, is she a member here also as I have lots of links on mug rugs to share with others

this is the link that I have been adding links to on my pages

Thanks, Crafty. I'll print out some of those for her to see. She is not a member here...in fact, she refuses to even try using a computer. So we print pictures, cute or inspirational e-mails, etc. to bring to her.

My mom is just the same as yours! A young 89 and still quilting although her eyesight is not real good and it bothers her to think things don't look like they used to!

Yea for Mom!!!!!! ... oh the things she knows that you don't know she knows!! :lol:

You, GO Mom!!

Oops, double post.

Yay mom! Show brag pics!

Awesome

She sounds like a sweetie....I love my mom too!

I love that you mum is young at heart..... you are a lucky lady!

Hugs

Wow, Crafty...you really have a lot of them...thank you, Naomi

Good for her and good for you! My mama is 92 and she'd rather be tortured than sew, but give her a hoe and set her in the garden and she's good to go. Splits her own kindling, too!

Mothers I find are always one step ahead....you just roved that :thumbup: :thumbup:

Mothers I find are always one step ahead....you just poved that :thumbup: :thumbup:

Mothers I find are always one step ahead....you just proved that :thumbup: :thumbup:

That is so special. Wish my Mom was still with us. I got her started quilting also. She enjoyed it so much.

Age does not take away ambition, just some restrictions on body part cooperation!

Go Mom GO!!

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT FOR HER!!!!!

BLESS *YOU* FOR TEACHING HER!


(YES i WAS SHOUTING) :)

AWWWWWWWWWWW!! what a great mom...she's keeping up with the times. That put a smile on my face.....happy sewing mom!!!

How fun is THAT! You're a good daughter to teach your mom a skill that she likes and keeps her engaged in life.

What a treasure to still have your mom and how much fun is that that she is a quilter too.

lol that is awesome

Im with you Bobbie, My Mom made some great stuff by machine, we would have made some great quilts together...

What a great way to keep her mentally and physically active! I will try the mug rug idea out on my 84 year old mother. Must make them feel important :-D

Your mom is a gem - a diamond of the best. Good for her.

That is so great to hear. More power to Mom!!!

How cool!!!

That is wonderful at 84 is still learning, I hope I can do that. We have a lady in our "Gathering" that is 103 and Still embroiders and quilts. I use her as my guide when I think I don't feel well I tell myself that "little Mama would do it.

Love it! Hope I can be as active at your Mom's age!

My loving mom is 85 and sewed all her life[with 6 kids: myself and 5 boys] but we just found out she was admitted to Hospice[in Mi.] and we live in SC. Will go see her soon. I will hate the thoughts of her machine running all the time making things for us, G. kids and GG. kids. from babies on. Love you mom~!~~~ Prayers are WELCOME too! Thanks!!

It's wonderful you still have a mom, mine passed 20 yrs ago.
