My Family and Their Creations

posted in family, sewing |

family of quilters
I showed you the completed quilted Christmas tabletopper that my mom made and then gave to me so I thought I’d show you my sisters and mom with their creations. A few months ago they were all together and created table toppers. This picture shows (left to right) my mom Myrna and my sisters Karen and Grace, all with the toppers they each made before the backs and bindings were attached and before they were quilted.

We all live in different states, although my my summers in the same town as Karen, so it’s difficult for us to always get together. When we do though, we tend to bring our sewing machines and try to work on some project together. We all love fabric and pretty quilts, so it’s only natural that this is how we spend our time together. I only wish we could do it more often!

    Stacy, Wanda and Laane – Thanks to all of you! Yes, we do all love to sew, probably because we’re addicted to buying fabric so we need to create something from all the fabric we buy! :-D

    :-) I understand the addiction to buying fabric. I remember my Mom wanting to go on vacation. The first place she wanted to find was the fabric stores or ribbon shops. We did a lot of french handsewing, shadow embroidery, and smocking for my nieces when they were small. I do miss those days.
