This post is a tribute to embroidery, to quilting, and to moms everywhere. So many of us learned to sew and quilt from our moms and/or grandmas, and we remember their patience and love in teaching us these skills. Happy (upcoming) Mothers Day to all!

The Beauty in Cross Stitch by Myrt Gehring (Utah), quilted by Carole Lifferth.
Myrt Gehring did the beautiful cross stitch and other embroidery on this quilt, which was exhibited at the 2024 Springville (Utah) quilt show. She says, "I'm dedicating this quilt to my mom! She was an awesome seamstress and taught me so much." The interlocking hearts were made with lines of red cross stitch, filled in with delicate sprigs of flowers.
Myrt says, "[My mom] taught me how to sew, crochet and embroider. Now my passion is for quilting. I wish she were here to see and share it with me. I love creating from all the beautiful fabrics we have to choose from! My mother would love it, too."
We admire the detailed borders, including a pleated pink fabric trimmed with crocheted loops.
Carole Lifferth (@quiltingloft) did some spectacular machine quilting, dividing the blocks into smaller areas to create intricate quilting designs which add so much to this lovely quilt.
