Finally! Mother's Day and Father's Day Quilts

I'm finally able to post the quilts I made for Mother's Day and Father's Day.  We all lead such busy lives and it's hard to catch up with the people you love, no matter how hard you try.
The following quilts were made because of a need to give the people I love a piece of what I love to do: create with fabric.

For the Moms

I made three lap quilts from kits I bought from Craftsy. They are the French General fabrics from Moda. This is such a versatile kit, no matter how you put it together, it looks great.  I'm lucky enough to have 3 moms: Rita, Chari and Janet.  I started making these in February and finished the three in April. I was able to give it to two Moms on Mother's Day, but it took until August to catch up with the other mom. All were so excited to receive these. I hope they will enjoy them for a long time.

We have a beautiful covered bridge in the county I thought would be a good place to take some photos of the quilts.  A number of people stopped by and complimented me on the quilts. 

And One for Dad

He's always put his kids before himself. Whether it be sports, fishing, hunting, etc.. he would teach his boys  the essentials and instill a love of the outdoors and  being active . I hope this quilt  will always remind him how much he means to  his boys. 

I tried to choose what he loves: fishing, golf, and hunting. When he goes south for the winter, I hope this lap quilt will keep him warm on those chilly nights. ( Yes, FLA does have some cold weather) 

I hope each of you love the pieces of me I made for you. Love you all!
