I guess when I post about it so rarely it needs to be blatantly obvious :)
Also, ironically enough…this really isn’t a post about my cross stitching…but my mommas.
I was thinking about my momma a lot today. And then I remembered these pictures.
Momma sorta became famous-ish in the blogosphere last year after I posted a picture of her Quaker Virtues on the ol’ blog. Well, this past weekend, while at momma’s house, I found myself noticing all of the cross stitched pieces around. She’s got quite a collection. 
And the one that started it all…
If she gets done what she wants to get done this year…she’s gonna run out of walls!
I do apologize for all of the crazy reflections and glare…I was going for now flash…as it represents truer colors…but that typically means lots of light, open windows, etc…which don’t always play nice with glass and frames.
I should also say that my momma does know me well. She caught me walking around the house taking pictures of cross stitch…and asked me what I was doing :)
As if she really didn’t know :)
Love you momma. I’m so glad that we can share this art together.

Your Momma's work is beautiful and deserves to be shown. How wonderful you can share the love of stitching together. My daughter is very talented in making curtains (drapes) unpholstry, anything that makes her home beautiful but can't abide cross stitching :o)
Looking forward to her next show & tell.

Beautiful x-stitch. Makes me want to pull out a project or two. :-)
Does your mom have a blog??? She should have one...These are beautiful~~ Faye
Can I adopt your Momma? I promise to be very nice to her and stitch with her all the time.
Her stitching is fabulous, but I love the sentiment in the first sampler of this post. Can you tell me the title and designer?
Lucky you to have such a talented mom!
Wow! Makes me rethink cross stitch. These are wonderful.
Love it! Yes, wall space is a problem for stitchers. lol! Your mom is a prime example. What lovely pieces!
Wow, tell your mom thanks for sharing her work with all of us, gorgeous! I think the last is my favorite because it is so unique!
Enjoy your day Dianne!
Wow, those are amazing works of art! Thanks so much for sharing. I know what you mean about wall space. Quilts can just go over the back of a chair, every chair. Wall space, that's harder to come by!
Wow your Mum's work is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing with us.
It is all so gorgeous one, right after the other ;o)
Beautiful stitching! I wish my mom stitched!
Gosh, all your mother's work is so beautiful. I really have a couple of projects that are just sitting and makes me want to pull them out again!
I wish my kids were interested in my hobbies. Great that you bond with your mom. :)
amazing! She is so talented and must stitch fast as can be!
What my precious daughter Dianne didn't mention was that one of the two big angels and 4 of the smaller charts were stitched by HER for ME. She got me into it.
The first one is by My Big Toe and is called The Work of Christmas. I changed the colors like I do on most everything and most of my stitching (95%) is using HDF silks. Thank you Dianne, I didn't have a clue what you were doing with the photos. And no I don't have a blog nor do I want one - It's all I can do at my age to just manage a computer!!
Yes, Claudia. Dianne has every reason to be so proud of you. Your work is beautiful. Isn't it wonderful and fun to have a daughter to stitch with.
I stitched with my mother and now my daughter stitches with me. Great fun. I feel so blessed, and I know that you do, also.
God's continued blessings,
Your Momma's work is beautiful. That Quaker especially is just to die for! Tell her not to stop - there's always a way to get more things on walls!!
Your Momma's cross stitch is beautiful! I especially love her quakers! :)
Your mother's stitching is beautiful.
