I am so blessed to still have my mom and have her in my life. We chat on the phone every singe day (sometimes more than once!) and catch up on family things, chat about our day, and now even talk about stitching. As many of you know from an earlier post, my mom is stitching on linen at the age of 78. She just just learned this year and has already completed a number of projects. The one I want to share here is a model she stitched for me called "Simple Joys". It was also her first experience with overdyed thread and I must tell you that she is spoiled already! The model is beautiful as she has always been a very neat and pretty stitcher. I am so proud to share this snippet with you and showcase my mom's work!
I've displayed the finish in my home where I can see it every day! This design and the other two will ship at the end of this week.
Mom has stitched a few more models that will appear here and on Nikki's web site later on. Right now she is hard at work on the Rose Quaker and loving it.
You and mom look so content together~~ And to think she can stitch and be a model stitcher for you....I know it thrills her and you should be honored....That is awesome~~~ I CANNOT wait to see your new pieces....Keep up the great work~ Faye
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture of you and your mom. Can't wait to see your new pieces - from what you show here, I like it!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom is lovely Diane and that is a beautiful photo of the two of you. I picture my daughter and I in years to come and treasure my relationship with her now. Well done to your Mom stitching on linen and her work is so lovely. I plan to still be stitching and sewing at her age, what a wonderful example she is. All the very best to both of you.

Your mom is so lovely and her stitching so beautiful! My mom was a great stitcher too. Unfortunately I lost her when she was only 54 and I wish I could share with her much more phone calls and much more stitching! You are so blessed!

It's really lovely to read about your mother. You're blessed. Carmen
ReplyDeleteYour mother's stitching is wonderful. The design looks like a "must have". How special that you have her first piece to cherish and gaze upon and it's one that was designed by you.
ReplyDeleteDiane, your mom certainly doesn't look 78 !!! Her stitching is beautiful... Aren't moms just wonderful? There is something very comforting about stitching, knitting, crocheting with mom, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteDiane, your mom is just cute as a button and goodness she sure doesn't look 78! The snippet is gorgeous and I can't wait to see the rest. Kudos to mom!! My mother still wants to know how those little "x" don't drive me crazy! LOL!!!
