Last night my mom had the honor of being my quilt group's "program" and brought literally a carload of quilt to share. I thought you might like to see them, too!
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage because there's a lot of photos, but not too many words. Sorry about the photo quality - light was poor and the holders were busy looking and my phone is not the world's best camera (it's S-L-O-W!). But you get the idea.

Happy quilting,
Katie

Wow. A lot of quilts. From a non-quilter to a quilter - never knew there were so many possibilities. Feel like making me any of those? :)

Wow! I guess you come by your quilting bug and talent honestly :)Thanks for sharing.
Wow! What a grand collection. Tell her thanks for letting you share them with us. :D I love that she has a broad range of colors and styles. And I do know that I will *not* be hand-quilting my Jane when I finish it! My hat's off to her on that!!
What a show! What a great collection!!! All I can say is "WOW"!
I have a little pillow that says, "Blessed are the children of the piecemakers, for they shall inherit the quilts." Are you prepared for that??? *giggle* Better start getting those storage cabinets lined up for those treasures! Thanks for sharing! ---"Love"
Wow, I am blown away. Your mom is such a talented quilter. I love them all!
Liri
Amazing!!! There are so many that I LOVE! Especially the Dear Jane quilt, the little appliqued baskets, the butterflies, and the house quilt. Does she teach dresden plate? It is a wonderful legacy!
Wow you Mom is an amazing quilter!!! Yay for Mom!!!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
WOW!!! - ;))
Thanks for sharing, those are all amazing quilts! I really like the Ugly Stars, it is beautifully scrappy! Looks like both of you really have fun quilting!
I loved seeing all of your mom's quilts...thanks for taking all those photos and posting them. There were a couple of patterns I have in the works...the Hawaiian shirt and the Moda club basket sampler.
