Mom's Special Quilt


A great big THANK YOU to all who said a little prayer for me as I rushed the finish my mom's Christmas Quilt. I wasn't at all sure that I'd get it all done before arriving in Missouri. But, on day two of our drive to Missouri I was able to complete hand-stitching the binding on the back of the quilt. She absolutely loved it and ooohhed and aaahhed over it quite a bit. Turns out I even got the blue right, it's her favorite color.

Mom looks pleased.

The label has a chicken sitting atop a huge egg in its nest. It's a salute to all the chickens she's had on the farm over the years.  

The perfect size for a bed-topper or a lap quilt. 

The inspiration pattern came from the Better Homes and Gardens, Sew Scrappy Vol. 2. I wasn't able to find a link to the pattern, but I think the magazine is still available.

I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving and is already well into making preparations for a wonderful Christmas celebration!
