“Mother Love” is Back!
I got a large package the other day but was unsure what it was. I had not ordered anything online for a long while so wasn’t expecting anything.
As I walked back in the house the phone was ringing so I put the box down on the counter. One thing led to another and I forgot about it.
About 3 hours later my son comes in from school, sees the box on the counter and shrieks gleefully. Poor kid…..he thought I bought something for him. Sorry bub, it’s addressed to me. A few seconds later he’s looking at me strangely as I shriek!
This quilt has been traveling for the last year and a half and had finally made it home!
“Mother Love” won Judges’s Choice Award (thanks Jamie Fingal) in the “My World in Black and White Revisted” exhibition by Fiber Arts Connection of Southern California.
This quilt is about the relationship between a mother and her child in transformation. In the midst of the turmoil and chaos that can permeate a teenagers life, a mother’s love, like a continuous circle, is enduring, never ending in helping her child transition.
I had a hard time with my eldest but we’ve come through the other side intact and actually friends.
May you and your teenager’s experience be less chaotic and much more about the love.
Love this quilt and I’m glad it is home again!
I have one down and one to go in the teen dept.
Knowing that the other side is so sweet with dd, I’m anxious for ds to arrive there too. ahhh….

Thanks Joyce. I too still have the 3rd one yet to reach teenager-dom (my 9 yr old) and a 2nd heading to college next year, but count myself lucky that the 1st one and I made it thru unscathed.
What an amazing quilt, very symbolic so inspiring ! It is well worth seeing it bigger, all the details come out beautifully.Félicitations, Grace ! Ah, adolescence… quite a few sleepless nights but, ladies, once those times are over, how good it is to see they have arrived where they were meant to !
