It occurs to me often to always remember my roots, and where the gift God gave me was encouraged and directed:  MY MOM!  If it were not for her teaching and guiding me through my younger years, I would not have been offered an instructor position at Joann’s.  I am SO incredibly grateful and with I could tell her how much I appreciated her pushing me.  Today I just wanted to celebrate her life of creativity by sharing some things from her quilting scrapbook, which I was so blessed to have copied and passed along to her granddaughter (my daughter).  She was an amazingly talented woman who gave her all until she just couldn’t any more.  Take a look!

Just one page of SO many showing her color schemes for quilts, the cost of fabric and who they went to.

Local newspaper article about the quilting group she was in, and all the hard work they did to raise funds for the nursing home she and my dad were a big part of. That's my mom in the back to the far left.

Another page showing her quilting group, along with an article from the Omaha World Herald about their fund raising. She was SO frugal, that this sheet of paper probably was a left over from my dad's business back in the 70's.

Mom lived a long life and did much for many people.  I could not be a prouder daughter.

THANK YOU!
