This quilt has been in the making for one year now and is finally done. This is the first quilt that I have made since my Mom died 17 years ago. Quilting was our thing and I just stopped when she passed. I’m so glad I decided to start again (thank you Donna for all your encouragement). This quilt is an Eleanor Burns pattern and was all hand appliquéd and quilted. It will be a gift to my daughter in time, but first I will need to make a quilt for each of her three brothers. It may be a while before she gets it. :)

That is such a unique (in a great way!) quilt. I have not seen another quilt like it. I love it.

Your quilt is simply STUNNING!! As a hand quilter and hand applique'er (like that word?), I appreciate every stitch that went into that quilt!! Your daughter will be one very lucky lady-You were meant to quilt-and I am sure your Mother is smiling down on you and glad to started again!

I understand your reluctance to quilt after your mom's death. Thank goodness my mom encouraged me so much while she could. When she died last November, I felt that I needed to continue for her and it was great therapy. Your quilt is absolutely stunning. I'm happy that you have come back to it. It would be a shame to waste your beautiful talent.

That is soooo beautiful! It reminds me of my grandmother for some reason, though I don't remember her having a quilt like it. Your daughter will treasure it!

Beautiful quilt and quilting. Really like Eleanor Burns patterns. So glad you are able to quilt again. It is so hard losing a mom.
