Very pretty quilt-you did a great job

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! Yes, we are so lucky to still have my mother. Her mind is sharp as a tack; the only thing that bothers her are her knees. But she still gets around with a cane, drives (yes, drives!) locally, loves to watch tennis, does crossword puzzles daily. I could go on and on! We had a big party for her when she turned 90; and last year at 95 she had 7 cakes from various groups or people in the community. I'm praying we will have another big party in 4 years, when she turns 100. However, every year is a celebration. My dad's been gone since 1998 and we miss him every day, but we are truly blessed to still have Mom. Thanks again for your wonderful warm comments!

Beautiful quilt....beautiful mom. She looks very happy with her quilt!

My mother also turned 96 yesterday. She lives in NC and I am taking her the first quilt I made. She was a home ec teacher for the state college and always wanted me to learn. My mother is also the oldest female living who served in WW II. Third female to sign up. May God bless and be with all of our troops.

Happy birthday to your mother.

Lovely quilt for a lovely Mom.

Yooper32 07-12-2011 04:30 AM

Your Mom looks wonderful. Hard to believe she is 96. She sure is happy with that lovely quilt you made for her. You are very fortunate to have such an alert and "with it" mother.

Sandyb 07-12-2011 04:35 AM

Beautiful mom and a perfect lap quilt. Loved that you used her fabric for the backing, made it extra special.

quiltymom 07-12-2011 06:33 AM

Wow very nice

mhansen6 07-12-2011 06:35 AM

That is a beautiful quilt. Your mother is beautiful too. She doesn't look 96.

dphelps 07-12-2011 06:35 AM

It is really hard to decide .... who wins the "Most Beautiful"-your mom or the quilt. Both are equally beautiful and your mom certainly looks happy.

grammysharon 07-12-2011 06:48 AM

Beautiful quilt and your Mom looks so happy with her birthday present!! :D

JudieRQuilting 07-12-2011 07:14 AM

The quilt is delightful and the smile on your mother's face--priceless!

Katz13203 07-12-2011 07:34 AM

Look at that wonderful smile. She really loves it! Great job on the quilt

grannypat7925 07-12-2011 07:36 AM

Lovely fabric, very pretty quilt! Nothing wrong with
Walmart fabrics in my estimation. I have used a lot of them and will be sooo happy when our Walmart gets the fabric department back again!

Toto's Mom 07-12-2011 07:45 AM

Oh, it's a beautiful quilt, and you have a beautiful Mom!! You can see the delight in her face!!
I still miss mine, so tell her Happy Birthday from me, too!

Happy Linda 07-12-2011 08:04 AM

Beautiful, to match the recipient.

Kallen 07-12-2011 08:12 AM

What a pretty quilt! I can tell she loves it!!

greaterexp 07-12-2011 08:39 AM

96! I'd say that girl earned that beautiful quilt! Well done! Tell her to have a happy birthday!

sew1 07-12-2011 09:57 AM
