Mom helps

I have had Mom(91) all week for the 4th.  It has been great!!  She was a professional seamstress for many years.  She has been in a retirement village almost 2 years.  But, she gave up sewing about 7 years ago when she had a stroke.

She also loved quilting.  When she saw the quilt on the design wall and was curious, I told her she could help me sew squares.  She tried to say she was scared to use my machine and could not do a good job....but I set her up my small portable  and she has had a great time.

I already had the half squares marked and she finished these in one evening.

I cut more of the 9 patches.....just needed 17.
She spent 2 days on these.  I can not begin to tell you  how much time she spent ripping out and redoing.   She would  forget to put right sides together  and many times would lose track of the pattern of colors.  This is part of the mind issues  from the stroke.  She never got too frustrated..... and finally  got them all done.  She was very determined and seemed to be pleased with her accomplishments.


Yea Mom!!! You still got it!!!!
