You made a lovely quilt for her. I understand because I have the same problem with my Mother. All you can do is try your best. You certainly had a hideous time with everything that happened to you. KEEP the faith !!

The second I saw your beautiful quilt I thought, "Mothers Day". Somehow it makes me think of all the sweet things that motherhood brings. Your experience with your mother is a lesson to us all, I hope what comes out of my mouth is always an expression of how much I care for my children.

As difficult as she can be sometimes, she is still my mom. I love and respect her. She used to make quilts- you'd think she would appreciate the work that goes into one. If she knew how much I agonized over the pattern, colors etc.
thank you for your kind words.

Your quilt is beautiful! I know how you feel- when it rains, it pours! Your mom is probably a lot happier than she claims, and proud, too. I have found with my parents, and with the elderly in general, that as the mind begins to deteriorate, they become more critical of everything. Mine are still at a point where I can gently correct them on their harshness, but sometimes you just have to let it go. Know that we all love your work here and that we were all rookies once!
