Mother’s Day Quilt
As most of you know, I had a mother who passed away when I was 12 and many additional mother figures in my life. Some of those mothers were good, some not so good (to me) – but, it doesn’t change the fact that they influenced some part of me along the way. I thought it’d be fun to take a look at the names of traditional quilt blocks and design a virtual quilt in tribute to those who have had a mothering influence in my life. Here’s what I came up with:
Patricia – My Mother
Quilt Block:Â Mother’s Dream
Grandma from Tramma – My Maternal Grandmother
Quilt Block:Â Heart Dollar
Grandma Spencer – My Paternal Grandmother
Quilt Block: Grandmother’s Fan (she would have used it for a fly swatter, too! hehe)
Gloria – Foster Mother #1
Quilt Block:Â Drunkard’s Path
Kay – Foster Mother #2
Quilt Block:Â Spider Web
Medha – Foster Mother #3
Quilt Block:Â Blue Butterfly
Lynn – Foster Mother #4 and Aunt
Stained Glass Yellow Rose
Josie – Unofficial Foster Mother #5
Quilt Block:Â Drunkard’s Path Variation
Lu – My Mother-in-Law
Quilt Block:Â Texas Flower

Happy Mother’s Day to all Mom’s everywhere – and especially to the ones listed above who have helped me become the Mom I am today!
