I'm also amazed, and "proud" of what you're mom accomplished! I'm a little younger "49" but, am hoping I can accomplish something remotely like that when I'm 80.
By what everyone else has said, you can tell we're not just saying "nice job" we're truly impressed. Hope you show all this to your mom.

They are all so beautiful. You must start at the first two and keep going. You will wind up with the most glorious treasure. Kudos to mom on a fantastic job :thumbup: :thumbup:

Man they look good I hope she gets enjoyment in doing them .I would loved to do a Flower Garden myself and Double Wedding Ring.I don't consider my talent to be that good yet.I sure would love one made by me LOL.

Do the quilt.
She needs to see the finished product,
so she will know how really good she is.
She is MARVALOUS.

WOW,sure would like to borrow your MOM for awhile. Wonderfull work and a treasure to have.My MOM never did any handwork,but one of my grandmother did but she was long gone before I was born. Maybe I inherited her gift for quilting.
