I lost my mother a year ago this Easter. I too made a quilt to remind me of her. I still have to finish the binding then will post a picture. Mom lived in our home for 10 years & I took care of her so it still hurts a lot but the good memories are beginning to creep in - can't wait till they just take over!

Beautiful :thumbup:

Pretty quilt. Your mom sounds like someone I'd like to be some day. I always admire those elegant lady types, but I can never pull it off.

You did a wonderful job to honor a wonderful mother...very special.

What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful Mother!

I'm sorry for your lose Polly. I will keep my eye out for your quilt pictures.
Mom used to say that she just refused delivery of bad thoughts and feelings. So now when I catch myself I think of her burying a pan in the back yeard 2 hours before a formal dinner because she burned the food and didn't have time to scrub it. I can still picture her in a dress with a shovel and a still smoking pan.
Then my day is better until next time. So maybe if you find a specific memory that you can recall when things get tuff.

As I sit here wiping my tears, I realize how easy it is to take things for granted. Although I spoke to her last night, I'll be calling my mom as soon as I know she has returned home from church. Thank you all for the reminder. They are beautiful words for the special women in your lives.

just a big thank you for the inspiration you have given me.

Wonderful tribute. Your mom reminds me of my gran, the greatest Marine Corps wife ever. :0) Worked full time her entire life, was the hostess with the mostest, spanking clean house, respectable children... hard work!

It will be 39 years on May2 for me, and I still miss Mom so much. I don't believe we ever get over that. But I talk over all my problems with her, and she gets me through all of them. I can usually hear her say just what I "know" I need to hear. LOL Sounds as if we all had great Moms.
