What wonderful memories!

What a treasure. The quilt must really mean something to your brother for him to ask you to take care of it until he is better able. I am sorry for your loss.

What a wonderful memory - and beautiful quilts!

those are wonderful quilts, great treasure from your mom :lol: :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup:

So sorry about your loss. I lost my mom 8 yrs ago and I know how hard it is, especially on the anniversary. She left behind 2 gorgeous quilts that will warm you and comfort you just as though her arms were wrapped around you.

These are absolutely beautiful!! Your mom was an excellent piercer!!

I especially like the first one, yours. I've seen that pattern somewhere and know that it was a challenge to make.

Do you know the name of the pattern?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I understand it too well. What a wonderful gift your mother gave you. It must bring you great comfort, and both quilts are truly beautiful.

My grandma taught me to sew when I was a teenager and she would buy me fabrics every week to make clothes for me, usually our own designs. I later got married and left Puerto Rico to NY. She never sewed again after I left, but at the age of 65 she learned to crochet. She made many small doilies and one large table cloth with pineapple stitch all around. she called it her master piece. One day I got a package in the mail and her master piece was in it. She said she had made it for me all along. I treasure that table cloth and is always where I can see it.

I love both your quilts.

Beautiful... Quilts & story both

I wish I did. I know my aunt does, and I'll ask her tomorrow; hopefully I'll remember to report back.
