I have to be honest with you that the end of your video just made me cry. I suddenly and remarkably missed my mom. I hope you snuggled peacefully under her quilt. Happy Birthday, Kate! 😎

Beautiful! And I'm tearing up remembering all the talented, wonderful Mum's who have passed on their knowledge to daughters such as you, and I. Thanks for sharing!❤️

Happy birthday! I’ve decided the precious things are the things to use, they won’t be more precious to anyone else. Love them and use them.

I have a whole cloth, large, double bed sized quilt that my mother made for me and the amount of work that she put into it is phenomenal. It’s cream on one side and white on the other and the intricate hand quilting is shown off perfectly. I have it on my bed and think of her every day when I am making the bed and folding it down each night. It isn’t pristine any more because I have used it for 15 years but I appreciate it more than anyone else ever could. I also use the beautiful handkerchiefs that she had and her wooden spoons .... every day items are a better reminder of her than any expensive jewellery or silver.

It is so lovely to see your Mom working on a quilt! Thank so much for sharing her gorgeous quilts!😍💖❤

One of the things I love about quilts is my loved one had her hands all over it. Touched every part

My mom passed when I was sixteen. I kept her lamb coat and the coverlet from her bed. Forty years later I cut that ratty coverlet into squares I used as padding in crimson and white Shaker Tape, Ladderback chairs I wove for my new kitchen. Last year, when my husband took the well worn chairs to the thrift shop, I cried. Silly really, no one could see the old blanket... but I knew it was there. Odd how mementoes linger in our hearts. Thank you for sharing your mum with me.

This quilt is not only beautiful but the story behind it makes it a heirloom. I bet every time you look at it or touch it you can feel your mother’s love .

What a beautiful quilt and tribute to your dear Mum. Happy Birthday to you, Kate.

Beautiful quilt that your Mother made you! It is a treasure! My mother made a butterfly quilt before I was born. It decorated my twin bed when I was young and now I have it tucked away. My Mom has passed also. You have my sympathy in the loss of your Mother. 12:57

What a touching piece this was. You got your love of quilting from dear Mum. I loved your decision to sleep under the quilt she made you for your birthday eve. God bless.

Made me want to cry, I miss my mother so much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KATE AND THANKS FOR BRING JOY INTO OUR LIVES.

honestly Kate, how did you get through this video about your mum without crying? I'm crying! The tenderness and preciousness of our dear mothers, and the paths they traveled ahead of us, which gave really direction to how we live. Your Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt is just beautiful, she took real care in selecting coordinating fabrics for each flower. A treasure indeed! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

@yvettemarie5236 6 years ago (edited)

Oh my how beautiful. Your parting words were just too precious. I brought tears to my eyes remembering my mom. She would save gifts given to her but why. They were meant to be used. You certainly have your mum’s talents. That was so special of you to share. The colors she choose where brilliant. So lucky to have those such fond memories. I wish you a happy birthday 🎁🎉🎂💐.

She did such lovely hand-stitching, so minute and precise! ❤

@marywalker5344 6 years ago

Your mother’s hexagon quilt truly is spectacular. I can see why you think it’s too precious to use

My mother made afghans, each one of my children got one she made for them. I still see some of them in their homes. When she died, there were several she had kept, so I offered them to anyone in the family who wanted one. They took all but two, I have those and the last one she made while struggling with Alzheimer's. Use the quilt, it is precious because she made it for you.
