This is a quilt that I made in a class called 'Fast Bargello' and I loved it it was about this time of year. The title is 'August 9, 2000' and this is a place that my mother and I went to the last year of her life here on earth. My mother gave me a megawatt smile that morning and told me that she loved me and would see me at lunch, I got to smile at her and tell her how much I loved her before I went out the door and just an hour later she had slipped away in her sleep. That night as the sun set, my husband and I sat on the rocks looking out to the ocean and cried for our loss of a great friend. Anyway I wanted to share this quilt as it hangs in our bedroom, this is machine pieced and then I long arm quilted it with warm and natural white batting and I used a varigated gold thread and the backing is the same as the inner boarder. And in the waves I can hear my moms laughter as it always made you feel so good.

I got to shed a tear or two for my own loss even after all this time I know the wonders that she would enjoy and the sadness that she would feel, but in the back of my mind I think that she is showing my dad what a 'woman' she became and she could probably show him a thing or two!! :D And I got to believe that they are having a blast!
