When my mom died at 87 (the only quilter in the family) I decided that someone needed to keep her legacy going. I guess it will be me. She always made her own clothing so I took all of her dresses, with aprons to match, and cut them up to make some very simple throws for my 2 sisters, my 2 daughters, and myself. I tied the first few then tried stitch in the ditch on others. We will always have a special reminder of her. Now I'm addicted and even dream about quilts!!!!!

They are so beautiful..what a nice thing for you to do for everyone!
Kinda makes you feel surrounded by your mother's love, doesn't it?

Absolutely. Sure makes me miss her though - I wish she were here so we could share this love.

Very nice quilts!! What a special memory of your mother!!!

I think your Mom will be sewww glad that you are following in her footsteps. :-P

Your mom would be so proud and pleased! You did great! Love all three of them but the last one is your best for blending colors! I'm third generation quilter and must carry on the tradition! They just smile down at us! :D :D

Way to share the love and legacy of your Mom, beautiful quilts and beautiful heart!

:lol:

What a creative and wonderful legacy. And she lives on. Good for you.

That is so inspireing. What a thoughtful way to build a quilt, Im sure sisters and daughters will cherish them.

The 'Love Quilts' are beautiful. Sure your mother would be happy to know you have taken up sewing and quilting.

I can relate. My mother made all her own clothes and was an alternation lady her whole life. I am the one who will carry on with sewing. I saved some of her hand made clothes and cut a piece out to use when I make quilts for the 4 grandkids. Mom lives on...........I miss her so much.

Your sisters and daughters will cherish these quilts forever. What a great legacy you are carrying on in your mother's name.

It is nice to hpnor your mom is such a way, what a tribute to her memory and an act of love!

They are as beautiful as the tribute you've made to your mother.

nice job
