Here's some photos of a quilt I started a few years ago, before my Mom got sick. She passed away in 2009 and I am trying to get back to working on the quilt to help me cope.

I got the pattern from HGTV BOM.

I think you have done a great job on your quilt. Maybe this will take your mind off painful memories and you will make new ones that are more pleasant. Just looking at this quilt makes me happy.

Ohhh I knew that name sounded familiar - I saw and collected and wanted to make that same BOM.

YOUR IS BEAUTIFUL - WONDERFUL FABULOUS!!! You choice of fabric really makes you look at each individual one you picked. LOVE the October one with the scarecrow on the pumpkin.

Well Well done!

I know how you feel losing your mom is so hard. When I sew think of all the times I watched my mother sew. Glad I have good memories to pass along to my childrem. You will have good memoires to pass along, also. She will live on in your heart.
I love the quilt is is so cheerful.

I have to say that I am not a fan of applique... but I really like your bird houses. They are just lovely.

I do hope that you will be able to find peace with this quilt top - it is just lovely.

Ditter43 07-23-2010 07:24 AM

That is so "tweet"....It is hard to get through, but we learn to do it one day at a time.... :D :thumbup:

Lori L 07-23-2010 07:33 AM

While working on your quilt....allow the great memories of your mom to come to you! Look at the memories as a blessing and allow it to help soothe the pain you are still feeling. Maybe....you might even be lucky to feel the presence of your Mom while working on the quilt. Maybe you've waited almost a year for a reason....it takes time. Prayers and hugs to you!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I lost mine two years ago and still miss her greatly. Your quilt is beautiful and I hope it helps bring healing for you.

Grama Lehr 07-23-2010 07:34 AM

Your quilt is fantastic, and it has such personality. Sorry to hear about your Mom my sympathies to you, along with a quilter's hug.

That is so cute. I love the April one the best but they are all very special. Mom would be very proud of your work and is looking down smiling!

I love these bird houses. Each one, unique and fun. May this quilt give you peace.

Rusty's Mama 07-23-2010 11:16 AM

Really cute blocks! I hope getting back to the quilt helps you deal with your grief. We lost our son last June due to colon cancer. His diagnosis was devastating. Getting back into quilting this year (and back working with my local quilt guild) has helped me deal with the grief.

Best wishes to you as you finish your quilt. And, many happy memories of your mother.

SulaBug 07-23-2010 11:20 AM

Our Mom's are very special & she will always be with you!! :D I know she is so proud of this Beautiful quilt. I love the birds & bird houses you have made. Lovely work!!

Lost my mother also. Quilting does help me & reminds me so much of her. Certain quilts always just look like 'her'.
