I have started to finish the mother's day gifts... in fact I have given some of them :) I knew that I did not have much to work with in the money department so I wanted a homemade option.. but it had to be useful. I found a pattern for a quilt block and thought it would make a great pot holder and I knew that my grandmother had a wall that she likes to put them up on so I thought that would be a good idea. I made 4 of them (2 for Grandma and 2 for my mom) sadly I was in a rush to deliver them, ok to remember to take them when I went to visit. so I forgot to take picts of them :( but they are cute.. not as nice as I had hoped but not bad at all for a first time quilter. I am working on 2 more larger ones to use more for decoration or on the table and I will try to remember to take picts of those :) I also made some towel holders for them... just a little way to say that I care and remember even if I do not have the ability to do something grand. I have been schooled to think that something homemade with the person in mind is better than a gift that was just grabbed off the shelf.
over a month later....
A little late in posting this... but I have not been able to finish the larger ones as my sewing room is a bedroom again (not upset about that I have plenty of projects to keep me busy :)
