The stained glass is also so beautiful....and I love the quilts you made for your kids yourself! Made with lots of love. I know...I quilt! I am not a quilting rock star either, but I get a little better with each finish. I loved the birthday quilt for your daughter. It's gorgeous!

It has been loved on and is wearing in so many places. I wouldn't trade that quilt for anything and I hope that I can pass it down to my granddaughter. It is not a pretty quilt...my grandmother was very poor and used pieces of anything that she could find to make it. But the love she put into that quilt makes it the most beautiful quilt I've ever seen!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-86626604356357845092015-08-03T21:01:16.419-05:002015-08-03T21:01:16.419-05:00You may not be able to see pants (who cares...that...You may not be able to see pants (who cares...that's what Nordstrom is for) but you can put together a mean quilt! <br /><br />Your mother was an unbelievable quilter bj!!

I've sadly not acquired the skill nor the desire to acquire the skill but then I am lucky enough to be surrounded by the beautiful works of art she left me and friends have given me.

I made a simple pattern of pajamas with feet in them. When I finished and held them up, the feet went out to each side (instead of forward) like the person wearing them couldn't decide which way to go!!! My daughters and husband and I laughed all night about them.
