Very much enjoyed reading this post like I enjoy all your posts actually. Wonderful comentary on HaHa and an equally wonderful finish! Love it. Meanwhile, how wonderful too for 6 sisters to get together. I also enjoyed reading about your dear mom and her issue with improv. I also struggle with improv so I understand some of the frustration. She was so lucky to have such an able guide by her side for the process. Hope she continues to hold on to what she has.

I'm just not much of a writer. Really loved your story about your mom. Kudos to you for all your effort in helping her make the quilt. My mom had dementia before her death many years ago. She taught me to sew when I was a kid. She also enjoyed needlepoint and knitting. It was sad to see her decline and unable to do those things. But I have passed her interest along to my adult daughter, who quilts and has an online company making custom bias tape and quilting binding.

I'm looking forward to seeing the seedpod quilt too. Your mom looks pretty pleased with her finished quilt. Hopefully she will remember the quilting class and her enjoyment for a long time. It's so difficult to see a parent decline with Alzheimers, it seems to strip away all the personality traits that make up "who" we are. My mom was a victim of this disease and seeing her decline rapidly was very difficult. In her more lucid moments she was aware that something was wrong and it made her very sad.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-65350705099753651642022-06-16T08:06:11.582-07:002022-06-16T08:06:11.582-07:00You make such beautiful quilts!

I always kind of wondered what happened after that fire that took all of her quilting supplies and basically the whole house I remember a lot of us sending quilt supply packages to her afterward - such a long time now - wow. I hope she will be able to continue quilting a little - I agree a shock to the system loosing a house like that could certainly push a medical issue to the front.Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-56547948175087435162022-06-16T00:05:22.797-07:002022-06-16T00:05:22.797-07:00I love your Ha Ha quilt Audrey, it definitely has ...I love your Ha Ha quilt Audrey, it definitely has such a wonderfull whimsical feel to it, especially the centre with the blocks and the scallop quilting, just magical.

So happy to see Seedpod Flower is next up for quilting, this one has a happy old time feel I think, a gorgeous mix of fabrics in those blocks.

Your scallop handquilting certainly draws the eye into that center panel, well done! <br />And your 'seedpod flower' quilt, well, your are so right... I think there's something so delightful about the mix of colours in this one! And big stitch hand quilting will add some lovely surface texture.

It’s nice to see how well that works in combination with other quilting in the rest of the quilt. I will keep this bit of inspiration in mind. I do like the variety of whites, creams, and grays! And of course the happy colors! The Seedpod quilt is a feast for the eye. The colors are comforting to me, reminding me of the scrappy quilts I grew up with. I like how the blocks, although uniform in size (I think!), are somewhat scattered rather than lined up just so. Looking forward to watching the quilting on this one. The center medallion is lovely. Your mom’s quilt is so happy! What an accomplishment for you both! <br />Thank you for sharing your work! Jspwarren@aol.com Sallynoreply@blogger.com
