My mom passed away almost three years ago so the best part of her now are the memories. She was the person I called whenever I needed encouragement or consolation. She always knew the perfect thing to say to talk me down from my anger or sadness. The thing I miss the most are our 30 minute phone conversations about nothing in particular.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog as well.

ReplyDeleteI learned to quilt from my mom.
ReplyDeleteI got my love of fabric and thread from my mom, who got it from her mom! She is helping me pick out fabrics and plan for my first queen-sized quilt, and may help me piece and quilt it too. Thanks for this chance!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is special because she is the one that taught me to quilt on her machine when I was only three years old. She took a magic marker and put the numbers all of the machine so I would learn how to thread the the machine. Something that I can't imagine doing myself but to her, she wanted me to learn. Ginny from Virginia
ReplyDeleteMy mother and I think so much alike, therefore, we agree on so much, have lots of fun together, and she is just a FUN FUN Mom, even at the age of 77!!

ReplyDeleteMy grandmother, Eileen, was the sweetest, kindest, most inspirational woman in my life growing up. She is gone these few years, but I think about her everyday. I named my daughter after her. Thanks for the giveaway. Good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is the best!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom taught me how to SEW at age 8. SHE sewed and I wanted to do it so much. she finally let me, and that started it all - all clothing sewing till my twenties. then some crafty stuff, but not a quilter till 11 years ago. My mom's quilting years did not interest me, SADLY. Only in the last 18months of mom's life did I get the bug, and I was full of questions, we scoured quilt magazines on hot summer days, inside :), and shared this love for the brief time! I'm thankful we had that!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhether it was the sewing machine, baking or other crafts, my mother had it available for us to try. She would answer questions but didn't push. As a result, I do all of these things. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is very down to earth and I love that about her, thanks! wonderlandbyalyce(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMy mom always encouraged us to create!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is the reason that I love to do crafty things! She felt like she didn't do enough crafty things growing up, so she really wanted me to have fun with them! She inspires me to create :)
ReplyDeleteI got my crafty/sewing genes from my mom. She was a great sewist.
ReplyDeleteMy mom always loved sewing - and tons of other crafts - but never pushed us to follow what she did. She still, to this day, laughs because I now sew almost every day - and she's often asking ME questions! :)

Rosemary B here:
ReplyDeleteWell, my mom is amazing
She was born in 1923 in Rotterdam Holland the first child of her parents.
She was born with one hand
She thought she would not get married because people said she was "handicapped"
She can do every thing, type, sew cook fancy meals, give birth to 4 children after being married to my dad, Mr Prince Charming
She can make lace, speak 4 languages, climb mountains, cross country ski, sew dresses for every child, and a suit for my brother.
She volunteered for the Red Cross, and her church, she sings and plays the piano.
Her amazingness never ends.
Both of my parents are still alive. Mom had a stoke last year and I moved them to the apartments one mile from my house
They are my twins now. I love them. they are both 91 and I take care of them every day.
My life has changed. I feel like I REALLY do have twins.
They make me laugh and we go on adventures all the time every day. My mom can walk and do everything she could before the stroke but slower.
I try to sew when ever I can, I make her jackets and placemats for their apartment.
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS
OH MY
Stephanie, your blog is one of my faves because you inspire me even when I come home exhausted, I go and do some sewing
Love, Rosemary
My mom taught me to love books and reading.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is an inspiration to me and many others. She spent 20 years working in a technical field dominated by men, where she worked her way up the ladder. When that opportunity ended, she decided to become a nurse, and has worked her way up from the bottom of that field, all while going back to school, taking and teaching medical classes, being a volunteer firefighter, the first woman at her station to do so, and working as an emt. I could not be more proud of her and everything she has done.
ReplyDeleteMy mom gave me her red hair and blue eyes -- a winning and rare combination. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's special about my mom? Everything! We quilt together, that's fun. She helps me with my baby, that's pretty essential..... lol Love mum. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.

ReplyDeleteMy Mom was a super hero to me. She raised 8 kids that were all born within 13 years. She was always there for each of us when we needed her. My mom lived to be 90 years old and has now been gone for 8 years. When I was in grade school I remember she would sit at the table with me and help me get through my homework and sometimes we both would be in tears by the time she got me through it all.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom sewed all my clothes, until I got married.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was the sweetest, kindest mother. Full of love and great values and always positive. She taught me many good things that have helped me in life.
