MOMS

 So while I was away to Peru, my mother came to town and watched the GRAND DOGS for us. 

(doggies get quite spoiled in our family)
My Mother enjoys the break, and it gave her some time to sew!  
I taught her to paper piece a block,
something she had never done, and she ended up making a whole bunch of blocks!  


 
We decided this would be a collaboration quilt between mother and daughter!

Won't that be fun?  It will be great to play with these blocks...Nice Job MOM!


She quickly got interested in learning more about paper piecing...
she paged through many books on block designs, and took home a bunch of pineapple
block pages to play with... hehe!
(the obsession begins)

 We worked on another project that I am saving to show you at a later date...  ;-)
Can't spoil all the fun in one post...


Speaking of MOM's, my friend Helen, (helennoblog) got to meet my mother also, 
and the "JOKE" about that is, Helen is also from MN, like I am, and Helen has says
she adopted me and Karen as her daughters...(she has three sons, no daughters)


So I had my TWO mom's together at the EMPIRE SHOW... 
Why didn't I take a picture of that special moment??
rats.  Oh well. It was all very cool!  
My mother also got to then meet, 
my "SIS" Karen who was also at the show!  
A big old family get together! hahaha

Thanks mom! (S)

So much happening this week... 
Gotta go run meet a few more blog friends at the red and whites!
