Well its August 2013 on July 24th mom past away very suddenly and my world has been turned upside down but i will heal in time. Her love of quilting will keep me going it lives inside me and my daughter i think is beginning to get the bug of quilting. Mom would be excited!
Everyday i miss her i try to think of her everyday and keep her close to me.
I want to keep this blog going in memory of my mom the most amazing mom ever!! she taught me so much and i want to share it will all. Quilting was a way of getting families together here in my home my husband and kids all helped mom work on various projects and we and her sister saima would all sit and quilt even my cousin Tammy got in on it once in a while I hope that my children will remember all the quilts we did with her i have more then enough pics of us doing it!
Mom was an amazing hand appliquer and i am still trying to be as good as here practice practice!! she would say then giggle at me knowing full well i wouldn't be able to be as good as her she had an amazing talent i could never touch but come pretty dam close at times. Mom showed me how to quilt when i was 5 years old mom and grandma Janetta (my name sake) would teach me something new everyday and i would sit and try and try till one day i just got it and it remember very vividly grandma saying time to go to the sewing shop to get you a real project! I still have it bambi! sampler it is in my hope chest half done!
One day i will put it out and complete it! hand embroidery i learned at 5 and 6 years old. had fun!
then grandma would let us quilt with her no matter our stitch size she left them in. use to sit under the quilts and play with all the wooden spools too that were left over from all the quilts. or play with my dolls and all of grandma scraps. quilting was and is a way of life for my family and i dont see it going anywhere but further soon my granddaughter will be old enough to teach so a mom can hope to keep the hand quilting going.
mom you left a giant whole in my heart but i promise to keep you in my heart and mind everyday! I promise to keep quilting and fishing in our family!!! thank you for teaching me all you did and i wish i had told you but i think you already new since my house looks more like a sewing shop then a home i thank you mom for all the wonder memories we have sewing in my home! and the videos may be short but the memories are there and are strong! miss you always! your loving daughter and best friend janetta
I miss our walks too!!
