Great job on getting it finished before your mom got there! That was a lot of work. I hope she is surprised and pleased with it.

Hey Patty

Your Mum will be overwhelmed I'm sure - I love blue & yellow together too.
Have a lovely day together on Sunday - our Mothers Day here in the UK was back in March.
BTW had a quick nose around your blog too - adore your Christmas Quilt WIP you posted in July 2006 - can I ask where you acquired the pattern from please.

thank you!

the Christmas quilt was a years' worth of blocks-of-the-month from one of our local quilt shops. i added the sashing, cornerstones, and borders from coordinating fabrics. the center is actually from a wall-hanging pattern from the mccall's quilting website -

here's the completed quilt -

Her room is so cheery! If she doesn't want to stay, I'll move right in.

thanks everyone!

no, i really don't design them myself. the Grandma quilt is a triple irish chain. i just put the quotes and pictures in the center of the designs. i did design the 'removable' picture blocks using fabric photo corners. we can change the pictures out as they get older. the Christmas quilt was from a block-of-the-month and i just added the other stuff to it.

Love your room and colors.

Quilt Mama 05-10-2009 05:32 AM

I love both your quilts. I especially love the treatment for the center of the blocks in the Irish Chain. That's an idea I am stashing away for future. I love the Irish Chains but not plain open centers that require quilting.

Rose Marie 05-10-2009 06:25 AM

What a wonderful thing you have done. She will prize it for life.
Your work is beautiful.

Alaskan lady 05-11-2009 07:28 PM
