❤ a very special chat Bonnie. Love your mum's quilts and love that you have them to touch and hold. Blessings to you Peace joy and gladness fill your heart every day.🙏
Oh, thank you!!! Sharing her quits with my stitching family gives me pleasure. She found so much joy in patterns, fabric, needle and thread just like we do and it gave her many years of pleasure. Now I can share that pleasure I have with you!!
What a treasure to have quilts made by your Mom....they are beautiful and I appreciate 30's fabrics. One time I found a wonderful array of original pieces of fabrics and bought them. I decided to cut each piece in half and share with my best friend and quilting buddy. She passed away from ovarian cancer and her hubby chose to sell all of her quilting supplies, so I wasn't able to get those other halves to make a quilt with; but I do have the memory of the joy when I gave them to her....she was so appreciative. I miss her so much; but cherish all the memories. We were friends for over 40 yrs. but I wasn't able to obtain one of her quilts, even a mini after she left us. Thank you for reminding me to find joy nevertheless....I needed that.
That must have been very hard. To loose her after such a long friendship and not be able to have something tangable from her. But, you are so wise to choose joy and keep moving forward with the sweetness of her memory and the decision to not be bitter. I know it must be hard, but so much better for you now. It honors her memory as well, my friend!
Oh dear! Well, if tears are healing, then you’re going to be doing great! I did all my crying the day before, so I could got it out and didn’t make a mess of my already sweaty makeup to do the video! So glad you found my channel and your way into my Sewing room to heat my stories. I’ve got another quilting #1 video you need to watch with some more Kleenex but it should make you laugh as well! Take care!!!
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Yes Ma'am "memory tears" and giving me ideas to leave for my kids and grandbabies... one of my granddaughters already sits and stitches ( she marks the paper chart and pulls the needle thru sometimes shes 5) and so the memories have started . i use to sit and watch my GrandMother embroidery. I love your channel and i believe ive watched all 3 ( correct) Waiting for more
Jessa Adair so far I’ve got a total of 6! Three Floss and three ‘companion’ Quilting! Looks like you get some more time with me! It’s awesome that you’ve got your memories in the making with your little stitching companion!
Thank you for sharing your mom's quilts. They are amazing. Thank you also for sharing the wonderful stories about your mom. You are blessed to have things that she made for you. I love the thought about Joy nevertheless.
It is such a blessing to me that I found all your videos! You have beautiful heirlooms to treasure and share!! I’m sure your mother is so happy to know how mush her handwork is so special and appreciated. Keep your inspirational videos coming!!! Keep creating!!!!
Sara Brunsvold thank you so much! My Mom’s personality was so much like my own. She just loved having fun with her family and friends and if she was still here, I can just imagine her watching my videos and even being in them with me. That gives me joy!
I am so happy I found your videos. This was such a special video to see. I loved seeing the quilts your mother made. I especially loved listening to you speak about them. Your mother gave you & your sister a true gift. Every time you are creating with needle and thread, your mom’s love is shining through you. Blessings to you 🌻
Bonnie, I am so thankful I found you. You are a breath of fresh air in the stitching community... along with Shanda in Idaho and Joy in south Texas. I love your devotional and faith. And your stories of your mom are so sweet and tender. My mom is 91 and in memory care just 10 minutes from me. However, due to COVID I have only been able to see her once since all this stated. She does not understand what is going on. We are fortunate that she still knows who we are and her personality has softened greatly and she is a sweeter version of herself. She was never a quilter but she did make most of my clothes all the way through 6th grade. Her mom had made a living as a seamstress. So thank you so much for sharing your journey. You have such sweet memories 🥰
Thank you for your lovely encouragement!! I am glad I can bring hope and happiness to this sweet stitching community. I value it as well. I think it is such a sad thing that the aging are kept from those they love. How wonderful that her sweetness has deepened as she ages. That is such a blessing. I pray you can be with her soon and hold her hand and give her lovely hugs.
Really LOVED your mother's quilts - every one of them. And it was so nice to hear how much they mean to you❤️. I just learned how to quilt at age 70 and my only daughter hates quilts. I think she feels like they are 'country' (which she just doesn't like at all). I'm hoping that she might one day treasure some of my quilts. That would be a blessing.
Oh, thank you for sharing that! It’s funny, I was the first one to quilt at 18 and then stopped for decades, then back into it after Mom and my Sister’s inspiring quilts. Hopefully your daughter will treasure them because they are from the work of YOUR hands and have them to hold and snuggle. But, if not you can choose some special friends to ask her to pass them along to. I have already talked to my sons about giving the quilts they don’t want to MY FRIENDS.... which reminds me....I need to make that list and add it to our paperwork. Congratulations on learning to quilt at this special stage of your life.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Thank you! I am trying to find some type of modern quilt pattern that she might like (I don't have a modern bone in my body so it's tough). I just gave a quilt to my sister who does no hand work what-so-ever. She was thrilled and I feel like since it's in the family I can still enjoy it as well. Love your quilting style and am hoping to start cross stitching soon as well. Starting seems to be the hardest part of any project😬. Love appliqué and embroidery mixed with quilts - so fun to see all of these!!! Also enjoy your devotions! Have a blessed day❤️.
Bonnie, I’m so glad I found both of your podcast. I enjoy them so much. I love your moms quilts! I have a cedar chest full of old quilts from my mother-in-law family. She just passed this year at 100 years old. God bless you
I'm also glad you found me!! I have an old cedar chest I inherited from my Mom and it's full of quilts and other items she made for my sons waiting for the day they may have kids. Aren't they such treasures we get to cherish??
Hi Bonnie! Your mom's quilts are beautiful and I love hearing your stories associated with them. I am so happy that you have those memories to help you through. I love your verbal blessings and words of affirmation at special occasions in your family and am going to approach my mom about starting to do this when we are making our fresh start in Texas and approach my daughter and son-in-law with starting a new tradition. I am bound and determined to make this Christmas a much happier occasion than the last 4-5 years have been when I have felt robbed of the joy by my soon to be ex husband. Thank you so much for sharing.
YES!! I love your idea of a fresh start and the good beginning of making your life more joyous and positive. Very necessary! After my husband and I spent all that time working on our relationship, we added in many new things. You are going it with your daughter and her family and you can certainly create a better future. It's never, never, too late!! Be bold and brave and ask God for His wisdom to make beautiful new traditions!
Well, first of all, Riley reminds me of my Paisley Grace even more now! She is part chihuahua, part Jack Russell, maybe some Corgi, a rescue puppy also. Her very favorite activity is giving kisses! Riley's kisses for you at the beginning of the video definitely reminded me of my fur baby! Your Mother's quilts are such priceless treasures! How wonderful and beautiful!!! I am sure your niece will treasure the special gift from you and your Mom! It is very generous for you to pass it on to her. Thank you so much for sharing your stories!
Bonnie I have enjoyed all your videos. I don't do instagram. My mum died when I was 20 but I still have some of her embroidered tray and small tablecloths which I treasure as well as hand embroidered tablecloths given by her friends when I married in '75. Lovely to see how you treasure your memories and beautiful legacy quilts from your mum. Through the years - and 12 home moves - I've tried many forms of classic embroidery and quilting but unlike many I'm master of none due to giving some and not finishing many (I agree WIPs so much more positive than UFOS! ) so finding you is a joy plus your end words of hope. Thanks to Anna Roadies I'm now trying wool applique but UK isn't as ahead as US re: wool supplies and especially now I try to give our suppliers my orders to help their business and keep costs down. Our church opened recently but we have to book a seat and I am going again on 4th. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for this beautiful video. It is so full of wisdom and tenderness. I too lost my mother to the same condition but you are so right to celebrate her life in this way. It brought me great comfort.
Oh, I'm so glad to have brought you comfort! That's my goal. So many of us out there who miss our sweet Moms and want to honor their memories with joy. Not always easy, but if we work together, it makes it doable.
I love this video. I can relate to so many of your memories, especially the rag quilt being a "cuddle quilt". I knitted a small lap blanket for my mom that she absolutely loved. After she passed I got it back and it is now my cuddle quilt. Every night as I hold it to go to sleep, I feel like I am getting a hug from my mom. All of the homemade things that I thought were homely in my 20's are such special treasures for me now. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of some of them but I still have some, too. Thank you for sharing your stories and your heart about your quilts and your mom. I am enjoying your quilting and cross stitching videos. Thank you!!!!
I love that you also have a cuddle quilt to remember your Mom and still feel her arms around you! October 4th will mark the day I told Mom goodby for the last time. I had such a visit with her though. It was good, but hard. I am so glad I dropped everything and headed out there the day my Dad said it was time to come.
It’s been two years for my mom. She instilled in me my love for crafts so I think of her always when I am crafting! It is a great way to keep them with us 🤗. Hugs!
Bonnie, “attending” one of your quilting vlogs is like having an esthetic feast for the eyes and heart while sitting close to a warm fireplace, having your loving hostess softly telling you poignant stories of nostalgia, and joy and then reading a scripture...
May I suggest scanning in the pages of the journal for each quilt and printing them onto fabric to stitch to the back of the quilt referenced. That way the history will be preserved with the quilt for future generations. I have a collections of antique quilts that I wish I could know more about in the quilter's own words. Beautifully inspiring!
Bonnie, you are a Rockstar girl! What a beautiful addition to this community, both in talent and spirit! In addition to essential oils, are you a life coach as well? You are very relatable and I am able to identify with much of your story. I am impressed with your ability and willingness to share your more vulnerable true self. Who thought learning could be “sew” much fun. Thank you for sharing!
Oh Thank YOU!!!!! I'm so grateful for your sweet words to keep me moving forward in sharing and being vulnerable. It's a bit scary sometimes when I think about the reaction I could get, but it's truly the real me...and I just want to keep sharing my hope and joy, in spite of these hard times. Ha...no, not a life coach, but I do like telling people what they should do!!!
Hi Bonnie I just want to let you know I'm so glad our paths have crossed..so much of what you are saying really strikes a chord with me..I lost my dad in May which continues to be difficult and my mom has dementia..I havent seen her since the end of February due to restrictions..I'm currently making my first quilt which will be given to my granddaughter..we are close and I want her have this quilt..so important..my grandma crocheted a lot and I have some of those..wrapping up in them is very comforting until the next time take care ❤
I'm so glad you found me as well! So much in common and these are challenging times with the restrictions that keep us from those we love. You're doing great to be making your first quilt as a gift!! What a treasure your granddaughter will have to cherish!
I had a friend who was dying of breast cancer and she gathered her family and closest friends and one by one gave each of them a blessing. So precious.
Oh, thank you for that memory. What a wonderful thing to do. Words are so important and sharing blessings is such a gift. Thank you for watching and sharing your comment!
Bonnie - your Mom’s quilts are treasures! I wish quilting and needlework were something I shared with my Mom. I found them on my own although I had great examples in my life. My great grandma, who I knew, quilted and embroidered and I was interested in both. I had a dear older Sunday School Teacher who took the time to teach me simple embroidery stitches - I can still hear her voice telling me that the back should look as neat as the front lol. I have quilts from 2 different great grandmothers that are in rough shape but I love and treasure. Nice visiting with you again! Blessings from Nebraska!
It's great that although you and your Mom didn't share the needlework together, there were special women in your life to teach you. I also have several old family quilts that are a bit of a mess, but I have them folded so the best parts show. Reminds me to share those in future videos. So much to share!!! Thanks for watching and I just love it that you're from Nebraska, yet you can join me in my Sewing Room when I'm telling my stories. Beautiful!
Hi Bonnie, I so enjoyed seeing your Mom’s quilts and hearing their stories. I lost my precious Mother 5 years ago at almost 98 years old. She was my best friend, such a special person and someone I always looked up to. I’m so happy that you have these treasures from her life! I am blessed to have much of my Mother’s crochet and knitting that she showered us all with throughout her life. They’re very precious to me. Thank you for sharing all the sweet stories and suggestions!
OH, I'm so glad you have those treasures from you Mom, as well. I'm sure our Mom's enjoyed knowing that their gifts of love were valued and cherished! Thank you for sharing and joining in with me on my Sewing Room chats!
I lost my Mom to Alzhemiers 3 years ago. I do not remember a time in my life she did not have some sort of hand sewing going on. You stories brought back happy memories of my Mother.
I started embroidery when I was young and then from there started stamped cross stitch to make a baby blanket and just loved 🥰 I stopped for about 25 years and just started back. I love 💕 all your mothers quilts and it makes me want to start one for my daughter. Thank you for sharing have a great day and happy quilting 😊❤️🤗
Oh Kay!! We share the same love for our dear Mom's. I can't believe I didn't cry.....your tears are a testimony of you love for your Mom and how we can connect through even videos!!
You are so wonderful, I feel like I’m listening to a motivational speaker rather than a flosstuber. I loved the stories about your mom’s special quilt. I hope my girls feel the same way about the quilts and stitching I’ve made for them. Your mom’s secret compartment reminded me of the notes I write to my girls on the back of the frames of stitched pieces I’ve made for them. Especially at Christmas, I cry every year when I get them out and wonder how much this will mean to them someday when I am gone. I treasure my love of needlework and the legacy I am leaving to my girls. If you loved the MItford Series you need to read The Redemption Series by Karen Kingsbury, she’s another fabulous Christian Fiction writer. Thank you for sharing and have a great week!
Oh, Ginger (Ah that's my sister's name, too...but I bet you knew that cause you've been enjoying all my stories). Thank you so much for your sweet encouragement. I feel like I know you and that is exactly why I wanted to do these videos. I know your girls will love all the treasures you've made them and the notes you have for them. ONe day I said something like that to my son and he emphatically said he would miss me very much. Ahh so good to hear!
Thank you for sharing your story. As I looked at the quilt behind you it reminded me of a quilt top that my Mother and my grandmother embroidered so many years ago. It was the 48 states with the state flower on each block. I still have the quilt it is thin and faded but knowing that their figures worked diligently on each square. So this quilt goes back to 1950's, because grandma passed away in her 60's due to a terrible cancer. I believe I was around 11 years old. I am now 2 weeks short of 72. Both of these ladies taught me much and happily covering God's table with delicious meals as my grandsons and granddaughter say. God Bless . Do you have an email address that I could get in touch with you privately. I would like to gift you something.😊💜
YOu are so sweet!! my email is bonnielogcabinstitcher@gmail.com I do have some old quilts and am not sure who made them, but I love the time work look and knowing that some quilter, many years ago found joy in stitching just like I do now. When you know who made them that's so special!!!
I’m loving your videos I think you you would enjoy watching Stitch Roadie she also has a quilt you tube Quilt Roadies she does a lot of hand application quilts
I love all your mother’s quilts especially the one behind you with all the embroideries flowers. Do you know the name of this pattern? I know it probably difficult to find the author of these patterns . I love is so much that I would be ready to make one like her I am so glad you have chosen to start those videos thank you for sharing with us
I'm so glad you loved her quilt! I just sent a message to my sister who also made that quilt and I need to find those missing Quilt Diary pages. Since I'm so distractable, if I don't get back to you by Saturday, please comment again! I do have a sticky note!
What beautiful memories you have to share with those precious quilts. Thank you for sharing.🥰❤💝
You’re so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Your mother's quilts are beautiful and your love for the quilts and her truly shows.
❤ a very special chat Bonnie.
Love your mum's quilts and love that you have them to touch and hold.
Blessings to you
Peace joy and gladness fill your heart every day.🙏
I loved seeing your moms beautiful quilts & hearing about your very special relationship with her.
Oh, thank you!!! Sharing her quits with my stitching family gives me pleasure. She found so much joy in patterns, fabric, needle and thread just like we do and it gave her many years of pleasure. Now I can share that pleasure I have with you!!

I also have several old family quilts that are a bit of a mess, but I have them folded so the best parts show. Reminds me to share those in future videos. So much to share!!! Thanks for watching and I just love it that you're from Nebraska, yet you can join me in my Sewing Room when I'm telling my stories. Beautiful!
Hi Bonnie, I so enjoyed seeing your Mom’s quilts and hearing their stories. I lost my precious Mother 5 years ago at almost 98 years old. She was my best friend, such a special person and someone I always looked up to. I’m so happy that you have these treasures from her life! I am blessed to have much of my Mother’s crochet and knitting that she showered us all with throughout her life. They’re very precious to me. Thank you for sharing all the sweet stories and suggestions!
OH, I'm so glad you have those treasures from you Mom, as well. I'm sure our Mom's enjoyed knowing that their gifts of love were valued and cherished! Thank you for sharing and joining in with me on my Sewing Room chats!
I lost my Mom to Alzhemiers 3 years ago. I do not remember a time in my life she did not have some sort of hand sewing going on. You stories brought back happy memories of my Mother.
I'm so glad you found me! WE can share the common bond of our Mom's and their love of stitching and loving!
I started embroidery when I was young and then from there started stamped cross stitch to make a baby blanket and just loved 🥰 I stopped for about 25 years and just started back. I love 💕 all your mothers quilts and it makes me want to start one for my daughter. Thank you for sharing have a great day and happy quilting 😊❤️🤗
You got through that without crying but I didn't. I also lost my Mom to Alzheimers.
Oh Kay!! We share the same love for our dear Mom's. I can't believe I didn't cry.....your tears are a testimony of you love for your Mom and how we can connect through even videos!!
Bonnie, I love all the quilts your mother made. You are so blessed to have them. True treasures!! Thank you for sharing.❤️🙏🏼
You are so wonderful, I feel like I’m listening to a motivational speaker rather than a flosstuber. I loved the stories about your mom’s special quilt. I hope my girls feel the same way about the quilts and stitching I’ve made for them. Your mom’s secret compartment reminded me of the notes I write to my girls on the back of the frames of stitched pieces I’ve made for them. Especially at Christmas, I cry every year when I get them out and wonder how much this will mean to them someday when I am gone. I treasure my love of needlework and the legacy I am leaving to my girls.
If you loved the MItford Series you need to read The Redemption Series by Karen Kingsbury, she’s another fabulous Christian Fiction writer.
Thank you for sharing and have a great week!
Oh, Ginger (Ah that's my sister's name, too...but I bet you knew that cause you've been enjoying all my stories). Thank you so much for your sweet encouragement. I feel like I know you and that is exactly why I wanted to do these videos. I know your girls will love all the treasures you've made them and the notes you have for them. ONe day I said something like that to my son and he emphatically said he would miss me very much. Ahh so good to hear!
Thank you for sharing your story. As I looked at the quilt behind you it reminded me of a quilt top that my Mother and my grandmother embroidered so many years ago. It was the 48 states with the state flower on each block. I still have the quilt it is thin and faded but knowing that their figures worked diligently on each square. So this quilt goes back to 1950's, because grandma passed away in her 60's due to a terrible cancer. I believe I was around 11 years old. I am now 2 weeks short of 72. Both of these ladies taught me much and happily covering God's table with delicious meals as my grandsons and granddaughter say. God Bless . Do you have an email address that I could get in touch with you privately. I would like to gift you something.😊💜
YOu are so sweet!! my email is bonnielogcabinstitcher@gmail.com
I do have some old quilts and am not sure who made them, but I love the time work look and knowing that some quilter, many years ago found joy in stitching just like I do now. When you know who made them that's so special!!!

I love all your mother’s quilts especially the one behind you with all the embroideries flowers.
Do you know the name of this pattern? I know it probably difficult to find the author of these patterns . I love is so much that I would be ready to make one like her
I am so glad you have chosen to start those videos thank you for sharing with us
I'm so glad you loved her quilt! I just sent a message to my sister who also made that quilt and I need to find those missing Quilt Diary pages. Since I'm so distractable, if I don't get back to you by Saturday, please comment again! I do have a sticky note!
