More It Runs In The Family

You all saw this baby bean quilt Darling Millie's mom made. Well, my mom makes quilts, too. She just does it different than Millie's mom.


This is a lap robe (with quilt batting inside to keep legs nice and warm. That mom made for her new sister-in-law, Stephanie, a few years ago.


Here is a quilt Millie's mom made for the boy, modeled by Muffie.


Here is a quilt mom made for the boy, with fabrics he picked out. They include sharks, whales, fish, dinosaurs, spider webs, cats, penguins, trucks and worms.



As you can see, they both like bright colors. Millie's mom always makes her quilts with strips and perfect squares, or rectangles. Mom does anything but perfect squares and rectangles. Millie's mom's way is probably better, but mom likes being different.

Tomorrow, I will show you the quilt both moms made for their mom, and I'll tell you the story about how it came to be.

Wow, those are amazing! Both Millie's mom & yours are very talented!

P.S. Mom threw out a whole bunch of old toys tonight because back then she wasn't looking to see if they came from China!

Wowie! How cool! My MomBean's lucky if she can sew in a straight line, let alone cut one!

Your mom and Millie's mom are both so talented! My Mommie can barely sew a button back on. I hope none of my cute outfits need to be sewn back up. That would be a disaster!
