If the photo's I post are distorted, please know that the real quilt squares are perfect. It's just that it looks distorted when I take the photos.

Please use your Username when you send a square as I want to thank each of you.

What a beautiful woman. Inside out I'm sure !

skydiver70 08-04-2010 02:18 PM

Thanks so much, She was a wonderful Mother in every way. Not a rich person, but rich in love!

Your post brought tears to my eyes--happy tears. Moms are so very special and I still miss mine so much even though it's been over 7 years since she died. She pieced a top for me which provided the incentive for me to learn to quilt. My sister has also learned and we both love to get together for a "sisters' weekend" when we can. It's so much fun to just hang out and quilt together, visit, watch movies, eat a little chocolate, drink a little wine . . .
It's sort of like Mother's legacy to us.

I am so sorry for your loss, but sounds as if you have many beautiful memories. Love is the most important gift of all. Hopefully, you will receive many squares to help your project.

Three beautiful squares received today: Thanks to each of you (I don't know each of your Usernames, so I posted first name.) Oh, yes, I need some photography classes. The squares are perfect but I can't say that my photo taking is. LOL
Could you please tell me the name of each square? Thanks!

Your Mama looks happy and content, She is just beautiful.

CherokeeGal 08-05-2010 01:54 PM

Your Mama looks quite content & happy! You can see the "Love" in her eyes! God Bless her!

skydiver70 08-05-2010 01:59 PM

Mama always seemed contented and happy. Dementia often renders them unhappy, but she always had a smile and a giggle, even though she couldn't speak. I miss her so much, but have some beautiful memories that keep me going.

sheilajstewart 08-05-2010 05:04 PM

That is a beautiful picture of your Mama. God Bless

sewgull 08-05-2010 05:25 PM

Your mother is a beautiful lady. The love shows in her face. Her memory may be gone but love never leaves.

Mine, too, and I still miss her terribly, even after 12 years.
God bless you.

I'm sew glad that you're getting such great response with all the squares!! This quilt will be hard to part with, but I also hope that it brings in lots of money to put towards your DM's funeral expenses. Your DM looked like she was a very beautiful lady!!! Again, I'm so sorry for your loss!
My square is a PINWHEEL!
