I'd been working on this quilt for quite a while. First I made some houses like this for a friend in my quilt guild and decided I wanted a quilt with some houses. So I made a bunch of houses and then decided to put the hearts in.... then I needed some handwork while we were driving .... Any way, hearts and houses made be keep thinking of Love at Home. It's a song my mom always sang to us kids when we would fight. But the whole time I've worked on this quilt it has said to me...MOM, MOM, Mom. I knew her birthday was coming up. I just got so attached to the quilt I wasn't sure I could part with it. .... She loved it. We had everyone at her party sign the label on the back and write a special memory about mom. I still love this quilt.Sunday, September 13, 2009
Love At Home
So my sister called and said, "Did you think about this being mom's 75th birthday coming up? I think we ought to have a big celebration." Then after the party was under way, she called me and said, "Got any good ideas for something SPECIAL we could give mom?"

I love this quilt and the fact that you could be so unselfish and loving to give it away. What a treasure it is. You have such a gift for quilting. Thanks for making the birthday celebration such a memorable event. RaeJean
You inspired me! I bought a beginning quilt book and now I'm up to one block and lots of cut up fabric!!! HA! HA! HA! Does it ever make any sense? All girls should learn how to quilt, it's GREAT math!
