Quilt Made for and Gifted to ME!!

(Sorry, this should have been in pictures.)

I'm sharing this incredibly special quilt with everyone as I just can't get over it!
Saturday was our daughter's wedding. We had a lot of fun, she was beautiful, they are happy.
During the reception, she took the microphone from the DJ and started talking about a project she'd worked on since December. Then she talked about our relationship. Then she gave me this quilt she made!
What you have to understand is that Katherine does not so much as sew on a button. But she bought a sewing machine, the tools, the fabric and watched a lot of YouTube videos.
I feel like a little kid with their blankie - I don't want to put it down!

Both photos are beautiful. Your daughter is such a pretty bride. Her dress is very feminine. The quilt is a LABOR OF LOVE.....Ask for the scraps that she has left over and turn that into a baby quilt. Hugs

How very special!

I looked at the picture and thought that could be Keuka or Seneca. Had to go back and see where you are from. Beautiful bride and groom and you should be ever so proud of that quilt.

What a lovely bride she made and to think of you to make you a quilt on her wedding day.

marilynr 07-22-2014 04:19 PM

That is one of the sweetest gifts I have ever heard told. The quilt is beautiful, & of course, the bride is also.
What a wonderful & thoughtful daughter you have.

That is so awesome. What a wonderful daughter!

KwiltyKahy 07-22-2014 04:21 PM

I understand this feeling, what a special quilt. Love the idea of using the scraps to make a baby quilt for them.
Her dress is beautiful. It is so feminine and graceful.

What a beautiful bride.....lovely couple. This says everything about what a wonderful daughter you raised.....and everything about what kind of Mom you are. Words fail.....i am just so touched by this.

Ohhh, what a special quilt! She did a fantastic job. What a beautiful couple.

QuiltnNan 07-22-2014 04:31 PM

wow, that's super

peaceandjoy 07-22-2014 05:16 PM

Omacookie- Oh, that's a fabulous idea! Right now, she's not too keen on the idea of children, but until she met Jason, she wasn't going to marry, either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my mouth shut. Well, for now...

MarLeClaire- Wedding and reception were @ Heron Hill, just a couple miles north of Hammondsport.

We live between Canandaigua, Penn Yan and Geneva. Katherine moved to Philadelphia 7 years ago; about ripped my heart out! I made her a quilt and on the label I wrote that when she needed a hug and I couldn't be there, she could wrap the quilt around her. So now I have one I can wrap around me. Have to post to quilting friends as nobody else would understand how treasured this is.

You must have a precious special relationship with your daughter. :) This is an amazingly personal, thoughtful, and totally original idea - from bride to mother-of-the-bride; how it must have touched you!
Both bride and quilt are just beautiful.:)

Congrats on the wedding of your beautiful daughter. What a wonderful thing she did for you, so touching. She didn't pick an easy pattern and did a super job.

Your daughter must have a natural talent for sewing!!!the Quilt is beautiful! She is goregeous,her style is diffently Grace Kelly and puts hollywood to shame!!!!

This is one of the most touching things I have read. To take the time and create such a lovely gift, while planning a wedding, speaks volumes of love and caring and thoughtfulness. While I don't have a daughter, if I had one who did such a thing, I would be floating on the clouds and mopping the tears. Everyone is right about the elegance and beauty of her and the gown. Such loveliness and what a treasure.

Yooper32 07-23-2014 04:16 AM

You are, indeed, a Mother blessed. You must have been the greatest in her growing up years, for her to bestow such a tribute to you on her day.

gabeway 07-23-2014 04:20 AM

Truly a quilt of love! One that will always be special! She did an amazing job!

Jackie Spencer 07-23-2014 04:54 AM
