It doesn’t get any better than this!!

My mom has had kind of a rough year health wise and to boot her birthday is December 24th. Her birthday just kind of gets worked in with Christmas. At the last possible second, my daughter and I had an idea to make her a quilt with a panel I had found that says “I Love you to the Moon and Back”. My mom says this to all the grandkids and great grands. To top it off we thought it would be nice if it was a joint effort and still be able to accomplish it in 6 days. You know….no pressure.

My granddaughter, Hannah, is 7 years old and loves to sew. She does a great job of making HST so we decided to make some starts for cornerstones. She also sewed on part of the borders. She was soooo excited to give it to Grandma Darlene for her birthday.

Hannah was so cautious, making sure her seams were straight. I should maybe take lessons from her on slowing down and making sure things are precise. I just realized while admiring the next generation of quilters the she didn’t even take the time to take off her coat. That’s true dedication.

It took a couple of sewing days but that smiles says it all. The best part was it was a surprise for her Great Grandma and my mom.

This picture says it all! Here’s to a new year with lots of quilting and the people that go with it.
