For my mom
 

We had to move my 83 yr old mom into assisted living. She has always had a king size bed and now is on a full size. We are doing everything we can to make her room like home. I live 200mis away but my sister lives nearby. I made a full size quilt for her new bed. They are going to bring it to her tonight and FaceTime me. I am excited to see it she likes it. It is machined pieced and I quilted it on my Juki T2010. Enjoy!!

That is very special! It will be fun to see her reaction!

It’s beautiful. If she doesn’t like it I will send you my address

I want it too. You did a great job and it's beautiful.

Lovely! In more ways than one.

That is beautiful and will make her new place very homey. It is hard when you can't be close to parents as they age and need different kinds of assistance. I went through that with my Mom/Dad years ago. Back then we didn't have all the technology there now is available. She will love it.

that is beautiful! seriously beautiful!! Did you embroider her name in it? I would have. I made my sister one while she was in Rehab.A hurricane came through and they sent most people home. When she went back the quilt was gone of course. I told her i had put her name in the border and she said "you did?". Yep, i did.
also did that on granddtr's quilts and mentioned that to their Mother. she was very surprised. i think she had already sold them!! Oh well, hopefully someone enjoyed them!

Your quilt is so beautiful! great idea to do a facetime with her . https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/thumbup.png

What a gorgeous quilt for your Mom!!! And so many nice gestures to help her make the transition. Best of luck to her.

This is gorgeous! I know she will love it and be proud to say her daughter made it especially for her. Beautiful, just lovely.

That's a beautiful quilt. I'm sure she will love it!

What a beautiful quilt! She will be the envy of everyone and it will be her most treasured possesion.

Not only is it beautiful but it sending her a hug from you.

Your quilt is really pretty. I've never seen one like it, and the quilting is fabulous. I'm sure it will comfort your mother both emotionally and physically. Best wishes to all of you on the transition.

She’ll be so proud to show it to everyone. Well done.

Really nice - love the quilting too!

Wonderful quilt, your Mom will love it.

Gorgeous! She’ll be wrapped up,in your love from a distance. So beautiful...

Lovely and sure to be a comfort to your mom!

That is just stunning! I hope she will enjoy assisted living. My mother really loved it.

Yes, absolutely get her name on if in some permanent form. Beautiful things do disappear from assisted living facilities. We don't like to think that way but it happens way more often than we would expect. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wave.gif

Beautiful!

Just gorgeous and so meaningful coming from her daughter. She will proudly show it to everyone and surround herself in your love every night when she goes to bed. I just love the dark sashing strips that outline and show off each section. You did an amazing job.

this is such a beautiful quilt, maybe because I love blue so much. I looks very well constructed and I know if I was your mom, I would cherish it forever.

That is just beautiful!

That is really pretty. Do you havethe name of the pattern? Thanks

That's a real beauty and from personal experience I know it will be a great conversation starter with anyone who comes in the room to help her. I bet you they even ask each other if they have seen it ..... then the person who hasn't will find a reason to come and see it. The bonus of this is that they all get to know your mom better. This is what happened when we brought all my girlfriends paintings she had done and decorated her wall. The staff loved it and they all had their favorites and were eager to share that info with her.

This is a quilt that feels so warm to look at. Cozy and warm all the way around. Great job! The colors and design are prefect.

Your quilt is beautiful!! Your Mom will be wrapped up in a hug each time she cuddles under her quilt. I agree with others , please put your Mom's name on it .things do go missing sadly..

What is there not to like? She will love it because it came from you even if it looked like a rag.

Beautiful....she'll be showing it off to everyone in assisted living!

Beautiful quilt and you did a great job on it. I am sure your Mom will have wonderful nights of sleep under such a gorgeous quilt and especially made by you.

It's a beautiful quilt and I am sure your mom will love it. I moved my mom into assisted living 3 years ago. I made her a new quilt for her bed too. I also make small wall hangings to hang on her door. They are about 12 inches square. I make a lot of them and change them often for her depending on the holiday or season. She looks forward to them. They are a great conversation starter with the other residents and staff. Since you are so far away, they also go thru the mail easily too. I have mailed several during the pandemic. Little things mean so much.

I hope she will enjoy it in her new home.

Beautiful colors and fabrics. Everyone that sees it will love it.

The quilt is lovely, and your mother is bound to feel the love you put into it. I know how difficult it is to be so far away from a parent in a situation like this. How nice that your sister is close by. Best wishes to all of you.
