I love the colors and it looks like nice work - she will be thrilled.

Beautiful quilt. Wish I still had my mom to gift with a quilt!

I loved strip piecing this quilt, it went together fast..can't say the same about quilting it though, although I did enjoy using the variegated thread for quilting for the first time. It is a surprise, she has no clue that I am making a quilt for her, and she is coming over this year for Christmas, I can't wait for her to get it.
Thanks for looking all, and Happy Holidays to you and yours! |
your mother would love it
|
Candi, I am so sure your mother will cherish this quilt. It is beautiful and you have done a wonderful job. Her big heart will just be filled with love.
|
Make sure you have your camera ready...she will be smiling from ear to ear!
|
Mom is going to love this beauty :D:D:D
|
Nice quilt - like the colors
|
You best have some tissues handy, if I got this for Christmas I am sure I would cry.
|
That is beautiful.

I just quilted on my home machine, just did simple cross hatching, it was a bit of a challenge to do the middle, but it worked! |
Beautiful and your mom has a great daughter
|
very pretty!
|
Candi,
As always, your quilts are wonderful. Have you made it home yet to present it to her? Probably a Christmas gift, but I hope you are there when she opens it. I know she'll love it!! Melissa |
It is beautiful :)

Melissa I am home, but my mom lives about 5 hours away from me, but she and the whole gang are coming over for Christmas this year, so, yes,I will present it to her and be there when she opens it :thumbup: Pretty excited too. Are you all ready for Christmas? |
Had a few setbacks for Christmas this year...just so much going on. All the shopping is done. I didn't make any quilts as gifts this year. I plan on starting all of them for next year in January.
I know the boys will be happy. They all got quilts from me last year, and haven't grown out of them yet, so none for them this year. I'm thrilled your home. Probably feels great to be home where you have all of your space back....probably more space than when you were traveling anyway. I told hubby if he ever wants to travel when he retires, he better get me something big enough to fit my fabric and my machine! |

Beautiful quilt! Great colors, too.

WHAT A DEAR CHILD YOU ARE, I know she is going to be so surprised and kind greetings to you both, ENJOY.

This is beautiful. As a Mom I would cherish this coming from one of my daughters. There is nothing like getting homemade. It has more meaning a thought and keepsake memories.
|
That is a very nice quilt and such wonderful colors.
