"A beautiful surprise, Kim! One I will treasure forever. I feel wrapped in a sunbeam and each stitch is a hug! THANK YOU, my dear!"
Tiamo,
Mom
You may have gathered from my last post that I was not intending to keep this quilt for myself. The quilt was already on it's way to CA to live with my mom and I wanted to surprise her so didn't let the cat out of the bag. She loves it!! Loves the cozy warm and vibrant color that it brings to her favorite reading spot. It's made sturdy so she can share it with her kitty friends, Max and Misty. I also tucked in a package of homemade Anise Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti ~ I made it just the way she likes it. Gosh but it feels good to surprise someone special. Real good!Glad you love it Mom!
Awwww Kim! What a sweet present for your Mom - I bet she can feel your love when she wraps it around her! You are a special daughter to make her such a special gift!
ReplyDeleteHomemade biscotti. Something different. Not something I ate growing up and hadn't thought about it being homemade.
ReplyDeleteHow very sweet! And I am sure she loves it, because it is very beautiful! And the biscotti too :-)
ReplyDeleteAwlll that is so sweet - you are lucky to still have a mom. Mine has been gone 10 years now and I so wish she were still around so I could show her my quilting. or GIFT one to her ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of it in the kitchen ;)
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
I love this quilt and I how you quilted it as well. I can see why your mom was so thrilled with it. She and her kitties can cuddle up with this quilt and enjoy a biscotti as well.
ReplyDeleteOh I just knew she would love it. Would have been fun to be a fly on the wall when she opened it.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love that and the bonus is the special gift of from heart and hands from daughter to mom! It is a treasure to her for sure! Where in CA does mom live? Mine is there too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt!! Did you do the top quilting as well? It's quite striking. I just purchased a bunch of very primitive but bright colors for my husbands next quilt. I won't start it for a few weeks yet but I will get it started before too long. Lovely work. Hugs. Tammy
ReplyDeleteKim, you have a wonderful blog and what a gorgeous gift for your sweet momma!

Have a great weekend, Kimberly
Successful surprise! Well done :o)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to surprise a loved one? Way to go!
ReplyDeleteCan I adopt you???? Biscotti and a beautiful quilt? How good does it get?
ReplyDeleteLovely choice of music, in addition to your lovely quilts. I'm still wanting to make the quilt on the fence, in your header - so pretty and gentle. 8-)
ReplyDeleteShe must have been so surprised!!! Oh Kim you made such a wonderful gift for her (and the kitty's). It is a beautiful quilt and very vibrant. I LOVE IT! What a great combination of fabrics. So now the next thing you cut and sew will be whatever you feel like working on. Something delightful this way comes...
ReplyDeleteI bet she does love it - It is one of those quilts that just looking at it with those colours - it feels cozy! How did she enjoy the biscotti?
ReplyDeleteKim... you are just the sweetest daughter! Moms don't often get real surprises, as you know.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've noticed the poem on your sidebar, too. It is neat! Thanks for the read.
