I hear her voice in my head when I bake
and when I sew.
"All it needs now is a bow."
"Everything tastes better with a few nuts."
I see her influence in my finished projects.
Although I have no where near the skill
that she has for making quilts
when it was time to bind our Spring Break Quilt
I couldn't bring myself
to just fold the fabric over and sew it.
"It would look so much cuter with a nice binding."
That's how I ended up folding and sewing
lots of little white, pink and green points
around the edge.
In my defense, I already had most of the squares cut.
I do think it turned out cute.
Now we just have to wait
and see if the baby-to-be is a girl
or if the quilt gets put away again for a while
even though it's finally truly and completely DONE!
Today I am thankful for
sons (one leader, one participant) who happily go to their young men activities.
a daughter who gave her brother a ride home from school for me.
only one 100+ degree day this week.

And what a wonderful mother to be like!
The quilt is darling, and I am so glad I taught you well. They asked me to talk in church on Mither's Day and I have been doing a lot of thinking about mothers and their influence lately.
wow Dianne...I am so proud of you...that looks awesome! Isn't it great to be like your Mother!
that turned out great! I am so impressed--one unfinished project done how many left to do??? SIGH....It is the thought of the unfinished projects that i have that keeps me here on the earth--there is no way i can die with all that i have left undone--how about you? Although you are one closer...
My mom would say things like--"I am tired--you all need to go to bed" and while i don't actually say it...I do think it alot
wow, its nice how you got that done so quickly, if only a certain pink and black skull quilt could be done so quick. hehe, jk. <3.
This quilt was actually started before your quilt. Just hang in there and believe in miracles.
