Mom's Quilting

I was a child when Mom started making quilt projects. I'm not sure where she learned. She just got some cut fabric from Tita Maming's shop and since I was makulit, Mom started teaching me too. I remember we'd go to Divisoria and Binondo to buy materials too.

Sorting Mom's things continues. Today I sorted stuff from her bedroom and found a couple of interesting items. Together in a box were some of her earlier quilted throw pillows. She made these by hand.

In another box were some books and booklets I got for her from Singapore and Japan. There were also leaflets from JoAnn's probably from the US. There was also a box full of patterns she made.

Part of the haul was the sewing kits I got for her. One had the fat quarters we bought at Spotlight, mostly unused. The other had thread and other knick knacks. The contents of both kits looked like she organized it to be stored. I'll probably go through it another day.

I feel sad. Sewing together was one of the things my Mom and I would do together. We still did it whenever she'd be in our home. When I got very sick I would still cut fabric for her. At some point though I noticed she liked working in her paper projects, so I switched to cutting paper for her. I miss my Mom and hope I can finish going through her stuff soon.
