Mother's 90th birthday!


We celebrate mother's 90th birthday on the 18th of July. Our whole family was in attendance. It was great to spend time together (especially for me and my grandbabies). We had a big party at the church. Lunch was served and then we had a program. It was such a wonderful time and so much fun to have most of the extended family there.
This quilt was made for Mom & Dad's 60th anniversary. Each vertical row contains a house that represents each of their 7 children. In each of the tops & bottoms of the court house steps (cream areas) list the children's children and their grandchildren (mom & dad's grandchildren and great grandchildren). I brought it home with me prior to the party to update it. There are 7 children & spouses, 36 grandchildren some with spouses, and 95 greatgrandchildren. Can you believe it? What a posterity for this amazing couple married in 1941. We are all so grateful for their love and devotion to their family! We are blessed!
