As you may notice, I have not made much progress on my original attempt to get some quilting done. Several days after I began this blog, my life took a turn that would require all my energy to be devoted to family. In November of 2010, my sister and I brought our mother up from Florida since she was no longer able to care for herself due to failing health. We had almost 9 months of good days and not so good days with her. We were able to celebrate many holidays with her including her 91st birthday in March. Unfortunately her health continued to decline and in mid-July Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep with my sister and I at her side. The months that followed were very difficult, and made more difficult with the holidays that followed. Throughout the years, I made quilts, pillow cases, place mats and other items for her some of which are pictured in this posting. I now have these treasures and will use them as inspiration for my future quilting endeavors.
So, I now begin my new quest to quilt in a new year. One day at a time!
