Mom lovingly hand-appliques each piece, and her quilts are so colorful and beautiful. She even designed the Tennessee Volunteer quilt to match the bedrooms of my nephews while she made Farmer Boy quilts for each of my boys. I just love how she added the little footballs, don't you? And all those little "T's" at the corners ... each hand-appliqued! Amazing ...
And for my upcoming Springtime birthday, Mom has created the most amazing yellow & white flower quilt for me. Yellow is one of my favorite colors, but I don't have a yellow thing around. So this spring, our bedroom is getting a springtime makeover with all yellows and whites.
Here's a sneak peek at my quilt that I'm not allowed to use until April!
Isn't is so pretty? The flowers are blue & purple & green & pink & all the shades of wildflowers. So I'm shopping the Goodwill now for a white duster and curtains to give my room a cheerful springtime feel ~ lots of lace and linens! There's not a primitive thing about it, but I love it just the same. Thank you, Mom!
Smiles,
Lea

Those are so gorgeous! I love handmade quilts. Your mom is so talented!
Lea, I love them all! I see where you get your sewing talent! I really, really love the one she has for you! It is gorgeous!
My Sara has a birthday in April! The 30th to be precise and Mallory has hers on the 11th.
Have a great week.
Lea, beautiful, beautiful quits your mom made. It will be so nice to wake up to those wonderful colors in the morning. Now I guess I will have to move next door to your mother too, (lol) so I can learn to quilt.
Have a blessed day

What beautiful quilts! All the hours involved!!! How very special each one is. Have fun making your yellow and white bedroom. Becky
How beautiful, Lea!!!! Your Mom is so talented and so generous!!!! I'm sure the boys will cherish those quilts forever. And yours. . . . .!!!!! Can't wait to see the bedroom when it's done. I love yellow, too --- but nothing in my house is done in yellow either! Strange, isn't it????

Since I am an "orphan" you could let your mom know that I am always up for adoption! I'd sharpen her needles for her! Sweep, dust, make myself useful!
Okay, I guess that might be a little impractical. I'll just covet from afar, your quilts and your mom!
What beautiful quilts, Lea. Just beautiful workmanship, too. I have always wanted a simple yellow & white quilt to go at the end of our bed, an older one. Have a wonderful evening.

Such wonderful quilts from your amazing mom for the lucky recipients.
Lea
Your mom's quilts are beautiful. They mean so much more knowing each was stitced with love. She put her loving touch on them.
While searching for a duster don't pass up lacey curtains or tableclothes. I made my duster out of 2 older linen tableclothes I tea dyed and added a border. I try to do as much as I can without buying something "new". It helps to give me that prim/make do look I love.

Now that is one sweet mom and grandmother! Quilting is a true labor of love. I absolutely love your new quilt!!!! I think I would wake up happy every morning if I slept under those beautiful flowers :) Thanks for showing us a peek!
Lea, please tell your Mom I'm completely impressed with her quilts! I couldn't imagine doing all that applique!
Hope your family's Christmas was Merry! And have a blessed New Year!
Kim :-)
Beautiful Quilts! Gee, I can't remember what all I ordered. I got a cookbook, and some of those thyme and parsley window sill garden (for gifts) and I got the 40 card set of all occassion gift cards and so on! I can't wait to receive everything!
