My mother is a VERY industrious woman! Ever since I can remember she has always had some type of project going. A.L.W.A.Y.S.! My mom used to work for Utah Woolen Mills and learned her sewing craft at a very young age. We always had someone coming to the house for mending, the creation of wedding dresses and full wedding lines, she had a great little job hemming golfers golf pants, and she always kept her kids well dressed, and made winter coats. My mom is an incredible seamstress!
Well, she has had or was given several pieces of fabric and she wanted to make something with these cute prints. So she cleaned out a drawer in her sewing room and started to put things together so we could tie some baby quilts, lap quilts, drag-around quilts, etc. Over the past few days she has been putting these together and this past weekend she started tying the quilts. I finally went out to help with her very worthwhile project.

We ended up tying 7 quilts! Each one ready for gift giving. And when she isn't putting fabric together to make a quilt she is crocheting hot pads, or baby booties, or scrubbies, or winter beanie hats . . . or she could be mending for a neighbor, or altering brides maid dresses, or making dishtowels, or - - well, like I mentioned before my sweet mom is very industrious, always doing something, always creating something. She is incredible!
