My Mom--Quilter Extraordinaire

My mom is a fantastic seamstress and quilter. She has mastered her skills over the years; starting with making all of her 6 girls matching dresses for every occassion, new pajamas for every Christmas, then on to prom and homecoming dresses, etc. She does blankets, purses, curtains...pretty much whatever she feels like making. For a while she has been working at a cute little quilt shop called The Feathered Star. Recently they went out of business, but she was able to get a really good deal on her very own quilting machine!! This is her new hobby and love, and it's pretty cool to watch her go after this dream of learning the art of quilting. She put in hardwood floors and turned this entire room into a quilting room. Good thing she's only down to 2 kids at home because her craft/sewing spaces are starting to take over!! :) I have a love for sewing that I'm certain wouldn't have developed if I hadn't grown up watching her. I still love coming home and learning from her as we tackle project after project. It's so nice to have such a good teacher on hand 24/7!!
