This is her 3rd birthday in "memory care" & she really doesn't know it is her birthday.
I made this little quilt for her 80th birthday -- just 6 years ago. Most of the fabrics were from my Grandma's -- Mom's Mom -- scraps dating from the 1930s. There are bits from doll dresses, clothing scraps, old lace & ribbon. I added several hankies, silk flowers, lots of buttons (some of them vintage) & lots of love. The little photo is my Mom on her 1st birthday.
I'll be remembering her today by taking my -- *our* -- quilt, "Skirting the Circle" over to the Quilt Festival offices.
Happy Birthday, Mom.

U r touching my heart...

Awww, that is so sweet. I pray for peace for you and your mom, and many happy memories that bring a smile and not a tear.
Dear Beth's Mom, Happy Birthday to you. And for dear Beth, a big hug for you. Your little quilt is so beautiful, it contains so many stories. And off goes your Skirt quilt on an adventure of its own.
What a lovely little quilt. Aren't you glad you made it while she could appreciate it!
what a lovely piece and the personal photo is so touching!
That is such a precious quilt!
A big hug to you, my friend!
This is so sweet and thoughtful ... just a perfect gift for a Mom ... you brought a tear to my eye. My Mom just turned 80 this year. I didn't give her anything nearly so dear. I must do something about that because she really is as dear as dear can be.
It's really pretty. Love all the things you put into it. Memories.
Hope it was a Happy Birthday.
