She was an artist and helped us see beauty in the yard, the house, and taught us artistic paper crafts. buttonboxgirl@comcast.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423050572731729648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533815743133780631.post-48695835954792065152016-05-10T16:23:30.629-07:002016-05-10T16:23:30.629-07:00Mom taught me how to persevere through the tough t...Mom taught me how to persevere through the tough times and to make something out of nothing. jenniferwright037@gmail.comJenny Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539437959555140123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533815743133780631.post-3037014539450076462016-05-09T13:52:01.187-07:002016-05-09T13:52:01.187-07:00Happy belated Mother's Day to you, Lynn.

To this day, ...I also remember those sunsets, Lynn! To this day, whenever I see one, my mind always goes back to those gorgeous sunsets on the canyon! Another time when we were little and living in the "House on Edgewood Lane", I remember sliding down the big hill in the snow on pieces of cardboard boxes. Mom was right there with us. We had no money for fancy sleds but I'm sure we had just as good a time. Mom and Grandma also taught us how to laugh and enjoy life. We would laugh at the silliest things! To this day you and I still do that, especially on our "Lucy and Ethel" road trips and when "Sweat Shop Central" is open for business! And, most importantly, we both knew we were loved! I have enjoyed all the many wonderful comments! Quilters have a lot in common! Mazey has her job cut out for her as she tries to pick a winner. Tell her she can skip over Auntie Gail and give someone else a chance.

She has always been very creative and has owned a stained glass business for years. I didn't get that talent, but quilting really is similar in a lot of ways. When I was little she made lots of my clothes and they were all so cute!Me and My Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470153447120413738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533815743133780631.post-59141829222031467572016-05-09T05:56:27.530-07:002016-05-09T05:56:27.530-07:00I have loved that pattern ever since your first sn...I have loved that pattern ever since your first sneak peek.

You, I am sure are a wonderful mother!:-) My home growing up, looked out to the west, with nothing between us and the hills at Sears Point Raceway, and it seemed like every night, at least to my teen-age mind, that she would call out, "Kids, come and look at the sunset!" I got tired of doing it at that age, but I, like you, now love sunsets, and of course, I live in a low part of town and usually only see sunsets when I am driving home on Hwy 101 in the evening! :-) But I at least appreciate them now! Hugs, H PS. I think I'll be making a delivery next tuesday, so I'll stop by the shop and say hi!<br />Helen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262129294254896564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533815743133780631.post-50572591299113641692016-05-08T17:57:24.711-07:002016-05-08T17:57:24.711-07:00My mom taught me to appreciate all that is good in...My mom taught me to appreciate all that is good in my life and help those less fortunate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550913578577079244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533815743133780631.post-31274314534525429302016-05-08T17:57:16.659-07:002016-05-08T17:57:16.659-07:00My mom taught me to appreciate all that is good in...My mom taught me to appreciate all that is good in my life and help those less fortunate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550913578577079244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533815743133780631.post-91902171225173185442016-05-08T17:13:23.490-07:002016-05-08T17:13:23.490-07:00My mom taught me embroidery when I was four years ...My mom taught me embroidery when I was four years old and I still love it doing it today!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463874952093819545noreply@blogger.com
