It's all about the Apron's

Imagine my Mom's surprise when she walked into her luncheon and 7 of us (daughters, daughter-in-laws & nieces) were wearing the same aprons.  Everyone knew who the hosts were!

Quilt: Grandma Thul's Handiwork


Here's the quilt we gave Mom for her Birthday.  I used bird dish towels Grandma Thul embroidered (my Mom's Mother).  They were kept unused for many years.  It seemed perfect to make a keepsake quilt for Mom.  The back of the quilt includes three photos commemorating her party.  It was quilted by Blue House Quilting.

75 Things Grandma Taught Us

This is a gift we gave Mom on her Birthday. Each family, including the Grandchildren, contributed ideas. Some are funny and some are serious. This piece was printed on fabric and included in the quilt we made for her. At the party, the five hosts, each read part of this tribute to Mom.
