Thank you for sharing such wonderful work. It is beautiful. I love the yellow silk one with the butterfly in the middle. I would make that one into a pin cushion. That way you could see it every day after she is gone, but that could be in ten or twenty years from now. My mother quilted till three days before she said good bye and she knew it was her last project. She was 90 years young. When she finished her cushion she told the nurse, "Here you are this is the last thing I am doing. I am going home to make tortillas for my husband. May your Mom be with you for a long long time.

She is keeping incredibly busy ... I think those are a lot of work and I don't have the patience to work on them. Bless her heart and her talent.
If she keeps it up like she has been, you'll have enough for several beautiful quilts.

Stunning. Stupendous job mom! How about appliqueing some of the ones she likes the most onto a good quality kona muslin so she has a quilt to use. She can also use muslin or let say an antigue green and start piecing the others together to finnish her own top. I love it!

I especially LOVE the ones with the bee's! What a great job, maybe get a a gift certificate to get a hand message, or better yet you do it, that would be nice! I used to rub my Mothers hands, and lotion her feet, paint her nails! Boy I miss my MOM~
