Mom's First Quilt
My parents retired and moved to Montana this summer. One of the first things on the agenda when they got here was to teach Mom to quilt. I had her over and started giving her quilting lessons. We both had a lot of fun.
These were her first two quilt blocks. By the end of the day, she had made several more, and she was on a roll.
It didn't take her long to have a finished quilt top. She even let me do the quilting. I chose to quilt it with Caspian by Hermione Agee of Lorien Quilting.
Once it was quilted, we had another lesson to cover binding. She chose a beautiful binding fabric that complements the quilt perfectly.
Mom has taken to quilting like a fish to water. She has already finished another top that is in my queue for quilting, and she has a third top ready to assemble. It makes me so happy that this is something we can share. I smile every time I go to her house and see her first quilt sitting in the living room.
