The last ones were my mothers. These aren't embroidery but they are my daughters quilts. I helped with her first one (the plaid one) and while she lived in Panama she made one with traditional Panamanian fabrics.

Just thought I'd share.

Mary-thank you for sharing pictures of your mom's incredible handiwork with us. She is truly talented and you can see the love in every stitch. Your daughter's quilts are beautiful too.

Oh, Mary QC, ALL of your mom's work is gorgeous, but I have just fallen in love with the baskets. I am crazy about butterflies! Let her do all she wants to do. What a treasure you girls have.
