So...I like making door hangings for my mother. When Joan, Moose Stash Quilting, asked me if I wanted to join, I thought what a perfect way to get motivated to do another door hanging.
I spent a few days pondering and gathering ideas, at the time it was getting close to Valentines Day.
So this is what I came up with.
I used a coloring page, Island Batik Fabrics, and my embroidery machine.
It has been hanging on my mother's door for over a month now.
My mother has dementia, as I was bringing her home from the hospital the other day she had asked me if I knew which room she was in. I told her I did, she asked me if her room had been moved. I told her no. Well....when we got to her door, she smiled when she saw the door hanging and said, yes, this is my room. Something so simple to bring back a memory.
So I thought I would show you some of the other hangings I have done for her. Some of you may remember and if you are just coming by my blog, well....enjoy!
This was one of the first to grace her door, it now hangs above her bed. She laughs at this one because she truly does not do mornings, unfortunately, I think I take after her. You have to give me about 30 minutes to wake up before you talk to me.
I made this one for her last Easter
This was an Island Batik Challenge one year, which I put on my mother's door when it was finished
I just thought this was one of the funniest ones, now hangs by her fridge.
This was one of the very first ones to hang on her door, a few of the residents threatened to steal it, so we took it off and hung it on her wall.
My mother Loves Tweety Bird and she just loved this one.
It has been fun hanging things on her door. There have been other wall hanging that I have made that have graced her door but these were specifically made for her with the exception of a the tree and pumpkin.
It was always fun to hear the reaction of the residents when they would see a new door hanging. I know my mother has enjoyed them and being how she is now, she enjoys them like new every day.
Thank you so much Joan, Moose Stash Quilting, for allowing me to join in. If there are some of you who haven't been to her blog, you are definitely missing out. If you want a laugh or to be entertained, her blog will do it.
always cute and funny things :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story behind your door hanging. I love the Christmas Tree, I would have threatened to steal it too!
ReplyDeleteDoor hangings! What a great idea for your mom. Now, I know another project that I can do while staying home. I had just begun visits with a friend from church who has entered an assisted living facility, but had to put these on hold for now. Maybe I can have one ready for her when visits resume. Thanks for sharing.

Your door hangings are the best. I used to make them for my mom's room too. Love your use of coloring pages as inspiration...I might just have to admit that the first one resembles me just a bit too much! LOL!! Thanks for giving us all a warm and wonderful laugh today!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely made me laugh this morning. I enjoyed hearing how your mother recognized her room when she saw the door hanging quilt you had made her. And, I loved seeing the sweet collection of door hanging quilts you have made her. Truly a great idea and gift from the heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing to do for your mom! Love them all, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose are so great! You've endeared yourself with your sense of humor to not only your mom, but the other residents too
ReplyDeleteGreat wall hanging. I remember that little devil from the cartoons and I think I even had a glass with his image when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! What a wonderful idea and I just love that you have done this loving act for her. (yes, the flamingo did make me laugh.)
ReplyDeleteLove all the wall hangings! They are so much fun. Thanks for sharing! And that was one of our favorite sayings as kids! LOL

ReplyDeleteYour wallhanging had me laughing as it reminded me of when my son was little -he had an imaginery friend - who made him to do.
ReplyDeleteI just love that flamingo!!! It made me laugh out loud. Is that a purchased pattern or did you come up with the idea yourself? Either way, it is adorable and! I’m sure it put a smile on many a resident’s face. Your Mom is a lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do for your mother! I am sure it brightens her day to see these lovely little wall hangings hanging around her room. Seeing your projects definitely made me smile! I love the little devil you made for her. He is such a cute character.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad, I can't see the first three images in the post (the first one I can see is the pumpkin for Easter... Love the penguin... very cute and funny, the tree is gorgeous I can see how it would easily get taken. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you again to.
I don't do mornings is so me, love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't do mornings either - must be a family trait on my Mom's side....she can easily sleep very late. I need coffee and time to be "nice" in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Perfect!!! I want to make each one of these!! Patterns? Thanks for putting a smile on my face during these difficult times. I'm 82 and every time they mention "old" people, I look around but never see any!! Makes me smile!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. Give your mom an extra {{{hug}}} for me, please. I used to sew wall hangings for my mom often to hang on her assisted living room door. She would have enjoyed each and every one you shared. This definitely brought a smile to my face but also a tear to my eyes. God bless you. I hope you are staying safe and healthy. ~smile~ Roseanne

Such a lovely collection of designs to brighten your moms days. Your flamingo really made me laugh. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to do, and I remember some of the others, but fun to be reminded of them. I love this and that she knew her room by her door hanger. It is interesting how the little things are so important.
ReplyDeleteSmiles for so many, that is what it's all about. I really love the devil made me do it and I bet everyone that sees it smiles big.

ReplyDeleteI am late blog hopping. Those are all sweet wall/door hangings.
ReplyDeleteThose are some of the cutest (and funniest) quilts ever. How lovely that you can make your mom smile with them. The 'devil' is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute projects. I can so relate to the 'I don't do mornings' and that Flamingo made laugh. For me, the funniest quilt I've seen. I'd like to make that one. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tradition to have for your mom! I can see how a new door decoration would be a cause for conversation among all the residents. I hope you are all staying healthy.
ReplyDeleteSorry, the first bunch of photos did not come through. The cute ones that did show up are darling. Your Mom must feel loved for all those door quilts.
