MMTPT440 Mom's Quilt

Photo Details

Poster: yellowrose46

My card for this week's teapot Tuesday challenge, to feature something to do with quilts and to share a memory. When my mother emigrated from the Netherlands, she brought with her an item that I really don't know how to translate into English. It was a wonderfully carved wooden head board, with a small top shelf for hats, and coat hangers in front. Below the hangers was a beautifully quilted backdrop. It was made with diamond shapes in bright colours and a pattern was created with black velveteen diamonds. My mom had made the quilt and my dad had carved the wooden top. It travelled with them from the Netherlands to Alberta, and from there to Ontario. I'm sorry that I didn't claim it when mom passed away, as it brings back many sweet memories.
I bought the Christmas quilt stamp set at a gathering for $3. The black cs was heat embossed with clear ep, just so that the stitching could be seen. All the diamonds were fussy cut and arranged together on a circle paper. This star was mounted on dimensionals, as also the sentiment.I added a sheer ribbon bow and a tiny sewing machine charm.

Beautiful stamp and memory, Ina. It reminds me, even though it's nothing like, of Laura Ingalls description of the little wooden corner "whatnot" I think it might have been called, which Pa carved for Ma and it travelled with them along their journeys. The embossing on the black sections of the star is great, at first look I thought you must have stitched those ones by hand. What a great encouraging sentiment too - I'm not too bad at the second half but I need to work on the first! Thanks for playing along...

Yeah, Ina, for perfectly those diamonds into such precise points. Love your card and that tiny sewing machines and even more the memories you shared.

I understand 'losing' a treasure, but perhaps something similar will make its' way back into your life!

This is a wonderful colorful quilt star , the patterns contrasting with the black is striking. I love the little sewing machine charm, and the sentiment is certainly words to live by. Thank you for sharing your memory. Great card.
