Hello! I just wanted to pop in here and wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are celebrating this weekend. I sure hope tomorrow’s weather is like today’s — it was absolutely gorgeous here today. At last, I think spring is finally here!
Special hugs and kisses for MeMum this weekend. I’ve been so fortunate to have such a wonderful mother — she’s taught me everything I know about being a mother myself! And, as an added bonus, I’m lucky enough to have a mother who quilts!
These are pictures of her latest quilt (made entirely from her droolworthy stash), taken just after she took it off of the frame. She’s now working on finishing up the binding. As you can probably tell, MeMum is an excellent quilter and she’s truly an inspiration!
So, Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Thanks for everything you do for all of us — we love you. And for the rest of you — I hope your Mother’s Day is relaxing and wonderful!
XOXO,
Anna
P.S. I’ll be back soon for a pre-wedding update — it’s been a busy and fun weekend.
A super Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours Anna. I had a lovely breakfast in bed and sick children – oh well you can’t win them all! Looking forward to the wedding update!!
Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
What an amazing work of art that quilt is – very inspiring!
Happy Mother’s Day to you and your mom! She is an amazing hand quilter, look at those tiny tiny stitches, how does she do it!??
Not mother’s day here at all in Ireland, have ours back in March, but will be calling mom in the States today!
Happy Mommy’s Day Anna and tell MeMum the same. Beautiful quilt and excellent quilting. Enjoy your day. XOXO
What a beautiful quilt. Amazing. Have a lovely mother’s day. Clarice
Happy Mother’s Day, Anna. Wow, your mum’s quilt is very beautiful. She’s an artist, for sure. It was sure rainy here today…I hope you missed it. It made our drive not so pleasant.
Tata for now.
Happy Mother’S Day! I hope you have a great day and a not too stressful week. Who am I kidding – just try to relax from time to time. Your mother does beautiful work. No toe hooking stitches on her quilt. Gorgeous!
How fortunate you are to have a mom who shares your passion. And what absolutely gorgeous work she does! Her hand-quilting is Inspiring!!
Beautiful work! You are indeed lucky…Happy Mother’s Day to both of you!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY SWEET ANNA – WOW your Mom is an amazing quilter and she does the quilting by hand, that in itself is a real art. Hope you enjoy the day with your family. Looking forward to the wedding info update.
BIG HUGS – Karen
Happy Mother’s Day to you, too, Anna!
Your mother is an artist in the highest sense of the word! You are blessed to have her as a teacher (and as a mother, too!).
XO
What a beautiful quilt and such tiny stitches! I see where you get your talent! Hope your mother’s day was wonderful…
I can’t believe those stitches are by hand….so fine and even. Your mum is definitely talented! Hope you had a nice mother’s day, too, Anna!
Beautiful quilts and quilting! Oh, I do love hand quilting. Good luck with all the wedding festivities. So much work to do, right? Happy Mother’s Day, from one mother to another…and one quilter to another, too!

Hope your Mother’s Day was gorgeous.
Love your mother’s hand!
Wow. I’m most definitely drooling!
Happy Mother’s Day! :-)
I hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day Anna :)
Your Mum’s quilting is amazing! I can see where you get your talent from.
I love your little cupcake thumbtacks from you previous post and that Vera Bradley sale looks incredible….and maybe a bit of a nightmare too!
Did you bag any bargains?

First of all her thimble is darling. And that quilt is so beautiful. Hand quilting, sigh.
Its great to share our mother’s talents. What gifts they gave/give us to pass on.
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day Anna and your mother too. MeMum sounds lovely and is obviously very talented

Hope your Mother’s Day was terrific.
And a Happy Mother’s Day to you, too, Anna! Your mother’s quilt is truly a work of art. Makes my poor little offerings look pathetic. But what an inspiration! Just makes me want to keep trying.:) I love the cupcake thumbtacks, too.

Your mother’s quilt is beautiful!! So lovely and full of color. My mom didn’t quilt but she did just about everything else. She thanked God for her hands all the time. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and… is the wedding next weekend??

Mom’s are the best! A lovely looking quilt she is working on.

Wow! What a beautiful quilt. She is one talented woman!
lovely photos and a beautiful one of your Mum’s nimble fingers at work!
I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day, Anna! What a lovely tribute to MeMum – I love the photo of her quilting hand, and her quilt is absolutely gorgeous. I was lucky enough to spend Mother’s Day with my son – that hasn’t happened in 10 years or more, so it was a true Mother’s Day for me.
Happy belated Mother’s Day! beautiful quilt! I just love the colours! Looks like you’ve been extrememly busy with the wedding! what a celebration it’s going to be! Keep well!
