Mom's Christmas Quilt

This is my Mom's Christmas present. She loves it. In fact she used it again tonight. This quilt has gotten so much use since I gave it to her.

I took her to a local quilt store and she saw it there (it was the one that Jen had made as the store sample). Anyways she said how much she loved it and I had to look away before I gave the surprise away-I already had purchased the quilt kit and pattern for Let it Snow. I gave my Mom a quilt years ago and she loved it. She really loves quilts but she is not a quilter. She appreciates all the work that goes into it a quilt!

She did not have any idea that I was working on this quilt at Jen's house. Jen quilted it beautifully so that I could surprise her on Christmas Eve when we open gifts. I was over at Jen's on the pretense that I was finishing my brother's quilt. I was but I also had to get her quilt done.

I have to say I love batiks~my Mom loves them too. Blue is her favorite color so this was the perfect quilt for her. My Dad kept the secret for at least two months. I showed him the pattern and fabric and he said she would love it. Well she did! As a side note, Emma loved it as well! She laid on it the first morning I had it home and I opened it up to show my Dad.
