Love


Mom's "Love" quilt, originally uploaded by Mellicious.

Quilt above by Billie Standley.

So the quilt I brought home last weekend was this one. The center applique block is one of Sue Garman's patterns - I think maybe it goes with the "Mama Said" series of patterns. But my mom changed the hair-color on the girls to represent my sister and me, because I always had dark hair growing up, and my sister was blonde. (I think the rest of the blocks were from a kit, although I'm not 100% sure about that. The fabrics are mostly by Robyn Pandolph and Sandy Gervais.) My mom also wrote the sweetest inscription on the label, something about memories of her little girls, which I don't remember having seen before at all. It almost made me cry.
