quilted masterpieces

Anyone who knows my Mom knows that she's super talented and creative and is always trying out (mastering) something new.  She has tried her hand in pottery, stained glass, and felting over the last few years but quilting has definitely become her 'thing'.  She spends SO much time cutting, stitching, measuring, poking herself with the needle...just ask Dad where she is and 60% of the time he'll say 'her sewing room' (which doubles as a basement, sadly.  Mom you need a sewing room!).

I have benefited from all of her crafty endeavours but none more than quilting.  We have beautiful quilted lovelies all around the house!  And here they are:

This beauty is the first one she ever made for us.  She made it for our first baby (she started it before I was even pregnant).  It's so pretty huh??  Perhaps secretly hoping for a baby girl!?  Hmm, Mom?  ;)  The bottom right pic is the back:

This one is the gorgeous quilt she made for our first son, Calvin.  It goes with his nautical inspired bedroom decor perfectly and Calvin loves it!  So, so beautiful:

This is the quilt she made recently for our son Henry's modern cabin inspired room.  She didn't even really have a pattern for this one!  The placement of all the appliquéd pieces were all her own doing.  SO perfect for him and his little nursery.  The bottom right pic is the back.  It's much darker than that in person (bad pic):

This is a pretty, pretty table runner she made for our dining room.  I just LOVE the colours and fabrics in this one!  The bottom right pic is the back:  

This one is a coffee table runner (the spring/summer one).  I love the casual look of this one with  it's untucked edges and pretty flowers.  And the fabric on the back (bottom right pic) is to DIE for!:

This is our fall/winter coffee table runner.  Such a fabulous country Christmas feel.  It makes the room so warm and cozy!

And this one..this is the loveliest of all the lovelies.  She made me this one for Christmas this year and I'm SO in love with it.  Look at all the pretty hearts!:

So there you have it!  My collection of masterpieces (so far, ahem)! Thank you, Mom, for all the work and effort that has gone into these quilts!  I'll cherish them forever :).
