This is the second in the series of stories about my family.<\/p>\n
There really aren’t too many funny stories about my mom. In fact, the only one I can think of is about her trip to Señor Frog’s a few years ago, and she would probably rather I didn’t tell that story. So instead of telling a funny story about her, I’m going to tell a sweet story about her.<\/p>\n
In high school, I lived with my dad and three brothers, and I would visit my mom’s house occasionally. One day she wanted me to come stay the night at her place after school. I told her I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have any clothes to wear to school the next day. So mom took me on a trip to Jo-Ann Fabrics, and she made me clothes to wear the next day: a blouse, a skirt, and a vest (it was the late 80s…). I really don’t know any other moms who would sew an entire outfit overnight like that. I cut the patterns and pressed the seams, and she did all the stitching. I think that might have been when I first started learning to sew (as an adult, I’ve taken quite a few jobs as a seamstress.)<\/p>\n
Another quick mom story… When I was in college, I signed up for a quilt-in-a-day class, and invited my mom to join me. I brought the fabric, and she showed up with an entire picnic lunch for the two of us. She had no prior quilting experience, but she enjoyed machine quilting so much that it became one of her main hobbies. She now goes on annual trips to Pennsylvania for quilting fabric, and I think all 7 of her children have something quilted that she has made.<\/p>\n
