Quilting Life Lessons

The irony of this quote staring back at me--blatantly out of square on the quilt on day 6 of dedicated quilting--is not lost on me.

I have gained a greater appreciation of my mother's art form, quilting.  It is NOT that, in the past, I have had difficulty appreciating the beauty of quilts, I have loved, appreciated and admired their practicality.  

This time though, helping mom with three granddaughter's graduation quilts, I have realized what precision and patience it requires.  (Possibly also realizing how much of that I sometimes lack.) 

It is an act of love and service that she is willing to make them for these graduating seniors.  Thank you Mom/Grandma for being such a wonderful. involved and caring woman in our lives.  :)
