Happy 96th Birthday, Mom!
A couple of months ago, I took my Mom, Merry Silber, out antique-ing!
We came upon a velvet Crazy Quilt with a big circle near the center. Embroidered in that circle? "1914" ~ the year of my Mom's birth!
Mom has been collecting quilts for about 45 years ~ and she loves it. So my gift to her could not have made her happier.
Her actual day of birth was July 10, 1914...
I hope you enjoy the quilt, too!
Thanks for tuning in...
Happy birthday! what a lovely present!
