My daughters share several aspects of their lives together including their birthday, a love of reading, a love of pizza and movie night at our house every Friday night, and a love of quilting.

The girls were 13 when the four of us took a block of the month class at our local quilt store. And with their 20th birthday this year, we just had to make "Turning Twenty" quilts. I told them I'd pay for the fabric, and quilt it for their birthday presents, but they had to make their own. They turned out beautifully! (the girls AND their quilts!!) And all three received blue ribbons at our county fair last week. I love my sweet girls!

wonderful, beautiful, fantastic

Those quilts are just too cool. Am I correct in asuming that each quilt reflects a personality--soft and sweet, conservative and traditional, and last but not least, bold and bright.

Janstar 08-09-2010 04:20 PM

Yes, each quilt definitely reflects something about their personalities. The one on the left is from a line of Valorie Wells Urban flannels, so soft and sweet, just like her. I had my doubts about the colors in the middle quilt - I mean, brown, salmon, dusty blue, gold, Comet green?? Then she found the outer border that pulled all of those colors together (a line called Panache), which actually suits her artistic tendencies. The one on the right is a collection of Mary Engelbrite prints; sunny, bright, homey. All three as different as the girls are themselves.

All so beautiful, your girls and their quilts!!

I am also the mother of triplets. I just can't believe they are 29 years old now. I've done quilts for my grandchildren, but none for my own children. Do I feel bad? I have 2 boys and 1 girl. I'm retiring in in Oct after 21 years of teaching. Maybe then I'll have to time to make one for each of my children. We were one of the founding members of the Triplet Connection.

What beautiful girls, and beautiful quilts!

Jupiter 08-09-2010 08:30 PM

What a cool way to commorate your girls' 20th Birthday. You must be so very proud of them. I think it is especially nice that quilting has been a part of their lives for a number of years, and these quilts will be extra special because they appreciate the work and love that goes into a project like this. Good Job, Mom!
