These are new pictures of my 80 year old mom quilting her dresden plates ( I'm always telling her age cause I'm so proud of her)...Love quilting with her every chance we get.

It's great to be getting older and see someone who's ten years older and enjoying herself that much. The quilt is absolutely beautiful and so's your mom. I love the soft colors.

Aren't we blessed when we have an active, vibrant parent like you do! Your mom looks so happy. What a fun thing to share together. She's a pretty lady.
My mom is in Iowa and I'm now in Florida....but she's coming in May and October....let the quilting and shopping begin. She's 83 and still so healthy. I'm so happy to still have my parents!!!

Pretty quilt! Mom is doing a great job. My Mom quilted right up to when she died at 86 and was still making those fabulous tiny quilting stitches.

Looks like you are having a wonderful time with your Mom. Give her a hug from me, wish I could hug mine one more time.

Lovely picture. So nice to see your mom still happy behind the sewing machine and the quilt is wonderful.

You are so blessed to be able to enjoy such a wonderful skill with your mom! She looks thrilled to be quilting! Thanks for sharing.

gzuslivz 03-30-2011 09:25 PM

How precious! My dm and I taught me to sew when I was little and she and I learned to quilt together when she retired. Mom has had to give up sewing because of macular degeneration. She is almost completely blind. It has been a huge loss for her as well as for me. Savor your memories!

bamamama 03-30-2011 09:29 PM

Your Mom and her quilt are so sweet!

sewdarnbusy 03-30-2011 09:33 PM

you are so blessed! And, I'm proud of her too. Enjoy your time together.

Harmony 03-30-2011 10:51 PM

Both the quilt and your mom are beautiful! Sure hope I'm still doing this when I'm 80!

jtquilts 03-31-2011 12:08 AM

Love seeing pictures of your mom still quilting. My mom at 82 has stopped quilting. The quilt your mom is working on is lovely! Thanks for sharing.
