pattern repeat

As Mother's Day approaches I wanted to celebrate the line of women who came before me...Great Granny, Granny and Magpie...I am the last link in this chain.

..."Thou art thy mothers glass, and she in thee calls back the lovely April of her prime."
William Shakespeare

I have been told many times, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...and so for my love of life, laughter, flowers, colour, print, cookery, fur and feather....and my goodness this love of ditsy prints is woven through us all!
I say to all these amazing women

THANK YOU
we are woven from the same cloth

My childhood is a patchwork of happy memories and whilst like most we had our share of hardships these women brought stories, and tea-parties, knitted teddies, fairy cakes, paper flowers, picnics and above all love and joy...I shall always be grateful for my Magpie and her Mother and hers...as they are me and I am them!
 Happy Mothers Day

  1. How lovely! I wasn't very close to my grandmothers, so I love it when I see our kids forming close ties with their grandmas. Xx

  2. Awwwwww - that is so lovely.

    I always wondered if I would be the last in my line, but with two very girlie little ones becoming extremely excited about all the goodies they have made me for Sunday I can't help wonder how I managed it - being not very girlie myself that is.

    Have a beautiful weekend,

    ps. both the smallest Boo and I went 'aaahhhhhhh' - I thought she looked familiar. Such a lovely picture. N xxxx

  9. Lovely post. I know just what you mean - mum, gran and I were very close and alike but they, alas, are now gone and I have no daughters so am the last of the line.
    Have a wonderful Mother's Day.
