So Proud of my mom- 91 and still quilting away!!!

Yes my mother is 91 and still creating beautiful quilts. My mother has made several broken star quilts and i have posted a couple of them on the board. She asked me if I would like one and of course I say a big YES! I added a twist for her because I found a 3-D pattern. She says now that this is the last one like this she is making, sticking to the regular pattern from now on. She even had to learn how to run my long-arm machine to be able to enter it in the senior division. Are all state fairs like that ? The senior has to do it all - no help quilting or commercial quilting.

Hope you enjoy the pictures - because i know i am going to enjoy the quilt.

Fabulous quilt and a beautiful pattern. Well done to your Mum for learning the new skill of longarm at such a wonderful age. I lost my mum eleven years ago but have a friend of 87 who has a her own ipad and is on Facebook and goes on Skype. Hope I can still do all the things I love when I'm more senior.

I am in awe of your Mom! Beautiful quilt. Our fair does not have a senior division and your mom would beat our regulars

Beautiful quilt and lovely quilting - no matter the age of the quilter!

That your Mom is still able and willing to do things like this is awesome!

Fantastic quilt and your Mother is an absolute legend....I can't believe she is 91...she looks way younger than her years. You are a lucky lady indeed.

What a beautiful quilt and oh so beautiful lady. She doesn't look 91! I am soon to be 88 and still making baby quilts but no long arm quilting, lol.

feline fanatic 09-05-2014 06:41 AM

That is awesome! Your mom made a gorgeous quilt. Did it ribbon at the fair? If not, well it sure should have, it is gorgeous. Love the picture of you and your mom and the quilt.

lynnie 09-05-2014 06:48 AM

awesome quilt. Your mom has a great eye for color too

jhoward 09-05-2014 06:52 AM

Your mom is a treasure. You are so lucky.... If I lived closer to her, I'd try to adopt her! Having a mother that active at 91, is truly a blessing.

Diane007 09-05-2014 07:31 AM
