In more recent years, my mother has become an amazing quilter with an eye for textiles developed in her time as a weaver. She normally makes full sized quilts for wall decorations, beds, etc. In September, I asked her to make a quilt for Ella for my birthday at the end of September. Going small was quite a challenge!
When I saw her the weekend after Thanksgiving, she showed me an Asian themed fabric and asked if liked it. Yes! We joked about her making a quilt for me for Christmas. Then, hey, there is Valentine's Day! What about Easter? Okay, Memorial Day and the 4th of July are coming up!!!!
She finally finished the doll quilt I requested at the beginning of September. It was well worth the wait! It reflects her interest in the Asian culture in Honolulu. I love the little figures. Very Japan! Both Ella and I are very happy with the new doll quilt!
