Mom's SkateBoard Quilt
 

A few weeks ago I posted a picture of my skateboard quilt called "Let's Roll."

Mom (age 91) finished one with duplicate skateboards that I gave her. Also pictured is a large quilt she made from blocks given to her by a friend. Both are now ready for the Bible Camp quilt auction. They were machine quilted by a longarmer.

I wish I lived closer to her, but we quilt together whenever we can!

Lovely quilts. It's great your mother is still quilting at 91.

Yes, congratulations to Mom on being an active quilter at 91. Great quilts.

Gives me hope. Great picture of your mom and quilts are wonderful.

Terrific quilts! Super that your mom is still quilting! :)

both quilts turned out great

I hope I follow in your mom's footsteps. Kudos to her at 91 !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure the quilts will raise a lot of money at the auction. God Bless your mom-such a great job at 91!

both nicely done

great quilts!!!

Beautiful quilts! I sure hope I am still quilting at 91.

Both turned out great. Congrats on your Mother still quilting!

How precious these are and that you get to still quilt with your mom. :)
My mom had a stroke in September that has left her with limited mobility and speech. She was a my dearest quilting buddy but now has moved to GA to be cared for by my dear brother and his family. I miss her so much that I am still totally stuck and have not been quilting these days. You are so blessed!

They are great quilts. My son would have loved the skate board quilt in his teens. He rode those things.

That second quilt is so beautiful and more my thing. She is an awesome quilter! Congratulations to you both on doing such admirable work.

Great quilts! I want to "grow up" to be your Mom--what a testament that she's still quilting and doing an excellent job!
My own Mom went to a quilt retreat with my sis, daughter and me about 8 months before she died--not feeling well enough to quilt and said she didn't even bring her machine cause real reason she came was to chat with all her friends! Know how you're feeling, Jan.

Great quilts and for a good cause! Both of your are generous with your time and talents!

Your Mom's quilts are awesome.

I love seeing your Mom and knowing you get to quilt together. My Mom was very, very talented. She made Ball Room gowns, wedding gowns, was a fabulous cake decorator, made beautiful floral arrangements but never quilted. I would have loved to see her quilt. What beautiful treasures those are.

they are wonderful quilts. I love the skateboard one. So many different fabrics and such. just wonderful.

Your Mother is very talented. I hope to be sewing in my 90's also. Keep up the great work!

that's awesome... great that you can get together to quilt from time to time... enjoy every moment with her.

Wonderful quilts and so nice to donate them. Bless you and your mom. I hope I can still thread a needle if I reach 91. She's terrific!

Wonderful quilts. I made the skateboard quilt last year for a grandson who was graduating from high school. I think it is fun that your mom made a duplicate of yours and another one besides for the Bible camp auction. Keep quilting together even if the miles separate you. I hope I can quilt when I am 91-it is not that many years away!

I love both quilts and it is truly remarkable that your mother is still quilting at 91. Does she make quilts regularly?

You are so lucky to be able to quilt with your Mom, either together or long distance. She looks amazingly young.

Those are great quilts. My Mom has gone to her reward, but I wish I could quilt with her, too. Treasure your time with your Mother and all the good memories that you can keep for ever.

Wow these are fantastic and your Momma is beautiful!

Great quilts

I really like the pink and green quilt, what is the name of the pattern or who made it?

Wow, she did this at 91. It's great. I should be so lucky.

Well those are lovely and yay for your mom!

Thank you for the compliment! I believe the quilt pattern is called "In Bloom", but I don't know the company. Mom's friend took a class several years ago with her daughters. The blocks were partly sashed in beige, and she didn't like how that looked, so the blocks were put away. Last summer she brought them to Mom to finish. Mom took off the sashing and with the help of my sister and niece selected the sashing and border fabrics that you see.

Nice quilts.

I just talked to Mom and got more information. The designer is Jackie Robinson from Animas Quilts. The "In Bloom" pattern is available at: http://pumpkincreekfabrics.com/catal...age=4&sale=yes

The colors and block arrangement are different from the choices on Mom's quilt. She actually said that looking at the pattern picture, she could barely recognize it as the same quilt!

Both great quilts-kudos to your mom for continuing her quilting!

I love making skate board quilts.!! I have made several of them, using odd ball large scale prints.

91 and still sewing strong! Good for her. She is my hero.
