My mom passed away unexpectedly three weeks ago. While cleaning out her apartment I came across a box of fabric she had tucked in the back of her bedroom closet. I made this from one of the piece's of fabric to send to my sister. Happy Mother's Day to all you moms. Hope have the opportunity to spend it with your mom.

Blessings!

I am sorry for your loss. The bag is a wonderful gift. I, too, do not have a mom, but I wish all women friends happy mothers day. Thank you for sharing.

It is a beautiful gift for your sister. One she will treasure I am sure. I spend mothers day with my mother everyday. Because she is always in my thoughts and memories.

Beautiful bag, and I'm sorry you have lost your mom. Mine has passed on as well, way too early. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there...

So sorry for your loss. The bag is lovely and will be such a nice gift for your sister.

What a thoughtful gift for your sister. I lost my mom on Christmas Eve 1977. And, I miss her every day. But, just think what a celebration was going on in Heaven that she got to see. The same can be said for Mother's Day. All the mothers up there will have a very special day!

So sorry about your mom. What a wonderful gift to your sister. Happy Mother's Day.

So sorry for your loss ... and how considerate of you to make this for your sister! I hope there's enough of the same for you to have a twin to it.

Have fun with Mom's stash and creating more memories!!! Nice gift from Mom to you!!!!!! :)

Sorry for your loss. That is an amazing gift for your sister. I'm sure it will be even more treasured because of where the fabric came from. My mom passed 15 years ago and Mother's is a tough day. I always spend my Mothers day morning at the cemetary planting flowers, washing her stone and cleaning the statue of Mary I placed there that she would have loved. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I too am sorry for your loss. Your mom had good taste in fabric because that purse it really pretty.

jaciqltznok 05-07-2011 01:41 PM

I am sooooo sorry for you loss...your lovely purse will be a great bag to take a long when you do things your mom would love to do!

My mom has been in heaven for 13 years now. She was not really a sewer, but I do have a couple aprons she made in the 40's from feed sacks. I love them and remember her wearing them. They were well used.

Happy Mother's day, everyone. We do the most important job in the world.

Sorry about the loss of your Mom. The bag is beautiful and a nice gift for your sister.

Jammin' Jane 05-07-2011 03:20 PM

My condolences to you...and hugs!
It is so thoughtful that you made your sister a "Mom" purse. I think you should make yourself one, too! You deserve one!

Carol's Quilts 05-07-2011 03:58 PM

Here's a big hug, please try not to be too sad. I know it's hard, my mom is gone too, so I feel your loss. But you know she's watching and blessing you and is so proud you used her fabrics to make such a lovely gift for your sister. Jammin' Jane is right - you deserve to make one for yourself, too.

Enjoy your visit with your sister. God bless you both.

Dina 05-07-2011 04:11 PM

I am sorry you lost your Mom. That will make tomorrow hard, I am sure. The purse is beautiful. I "third" Jammin' Jane. Youdeserve one for yourself too.

Becca Bear 05-07-2011 05:03 PM

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mother's day is a celebration about our Mother's and their love for us. I pray that tomorrow will be a celebration for you and your sister, with memories of your wonderful Mother. God Bless.

I am sorry for your loss. I found an old quilt of my mothers when she passed and made a stuffed cat to give to my sister. She loved it.

The purse you made for your sister is beautiful....! She'll really treasure it - even more so knowing the fabric came from your mom.

Beautiful purse, I really like the fabric. So sorry for the loss of your Mom, she has been with God for 4 years and I miss her every day. I still have so many of her fabrics.

elm 05-08-2011 04:31 AM

What a lovely thing to do for your sister. Maybe Mother's Day is a good day on which to start using some of the material she left on something for yourself. May your day be filled with comforting family and friends.

smagruder 05-08-2011 04:33 AM

Such a wonderful way to think of your sister at such a sad time. So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 10 years ago..Happy Morhter's day.

dinlauren 05-08-2011 04:51 AM

What a beautiful bag..........you did a kind thing for your sister and she will treasure it i'm sure....so sorry for your loss.

supergma 05-08-2011 05:05 AM

I'm sorry for your loss. Today is a bittersweet one for me.
Mom was buried on Mother's day nine years ago. The sweet part is being a Mom myself, and getting all that love from Son, Grands and Great Grands.

karenpatrick 05-08-2011 05:07 AM

So sorry for your loss. My mother passed many years ago. That's a great present for your sister.

I'd like to wish all you mothers out there a wonderful Mother's Day.

Janet Espeleta 05-08-2011 05:27 AM

What a lovely gift for your sister. My mom passed away on Nov. 1st so this will also be my 1st Mother's Day w/out her. We didn't live close, but we always celebrated the day together even if it was just by a phone call.

Jersey Gal 05-08-2011 05:27 AM

So very sorry for your loss.
My mom's been gone 19 years, and I still miss her.
Sundays are especially hard, as I worked, and I always
spent Sundays with her.
The bag you made for your sister is absolutely
beautiful.
