Mothers and Daughters...Day 4 of Honor Moms...giveaway

I know...doesn't RUBY look really silly!!! Yeah, Ms Bea said
she looked REALLY ridiculous!...But, Ruby just wanted to celebrate...Cinco de Mayo.
Happy Cinco de Mayo EVERYONE!!

now...back to our regularly scheduled program...

Mothers and Daughters...there have been some famous ones.
Can YOU think of some?  No...it's not Mystery Monday... so, I won't make you work
too hard...


Judy Garland and daughter Liza Minelli


Ingrid Bergman and daughter Isabella Roselinni



Carrie Fisher and her mom Debbie Reynolds



Lucille Ball and daughter Lucy Arnez

Kate Hudson and mom Goldie Hawn



Then, there are some Mom-Daughter teams that are just a teensy bit less
famous...

I think that you will recognize these next two ladies.



Mariann Fons (of Fons and Porter) and her daughter...Mary Fons
Mariann Fons is the "Fons" part of Fons and Porter.  Now, that Liz Porter has
retired...Mariann's daughter, Mary, works in the business too...

While doing a wee bit research on the Internet for Mother/Daughter teams...I came across
an article on Quilting Daily called "Mothers and Daughters Together in one Studio"
 (click HERE for the full article).  In this article ...Pokey Bolten (pictured here with her mom)
writes about how enjoyable it was for her to have her mom in the studio to "play" with crafting.

In the article there are several Mother /Daughter teams.  They write that "respect and...
 healthy boundaries" are very important. 

Below are a few more links to mother/daughter teams who seem to work very well together. 
They have craft or sewing type businesses...

Both of my daughters live out of town and neither of them ever had any interest in sewing to no mutual projects from this household.

It was nice meeting you yesterday! You know, names along with faces. One of my daughters is coming for a visit and wants to learn some quilting and sewing stuff! Yea! See ya at HMQS. Oh, I have no idea why you are giving this grouping away.

I work with my daughter every day! We work in the family business, and I'm so grateful to have her insights and talents that she shares!

I am guessing all these items have to do with a mother-daughter team. My daughter lives six hours away. I wish she was closer so that we could do stuff together.

I used to love to have my daughters in the workroom! Now they are grown. Oddly, my quilting daughter has become a photographer -- and she is great at it!

Nice mother/daughter team prizes. My mother and I live together so all of our quilting projects involve some collaboration between us - sometimes I help her cut and press - and she will help me with my color selection. She is a great teacher. Thanks for the giveaway.

My mom never had the urge to quilt, but she did sew all my clothes when I was a little 'un.
I would say the only "projects" we did together was when I attempted to sew something from a Simplicity pattern (not clothes!) & would get so frustrated that she would have to help me through it, step by step!

My daughter is just now asking "creative" advice. Looking forward to creating interesting craft items with her! gougeonathome@charter.net (Allison)

The last "BIG" thing my Mom and I did together was to make my wedding gown, 36 years ago. It was finished just in time for my June wedding. My guess is that they all are mother-daughter creations.

Great post....I had so much fun meeting you and the girls today! See you soon!

Sandra said...

Currently my Mom and I are working together to complete several quilts. My Grandmother was a quilter and sadly passed away leaving the quilts unfinished. Grandma made the blocks, Mom is piecing the quilts together, and I will do the machine quilting. How is that for teamwork?

Miss Hillbilly said...

My daughter and I do work together. She does my drawings for my stitcheries. It can't draw at all. But as for getting a whole quilt accomplished together? NEVER! We are complete opposites and it doesn't work.

When my mum was alive she loved to watch me but never joined in!
My daughter loved crafting when she was small but now she's at uni she doesn't do any

Deborah in Atlanta said...

My mom doesn't even know how to sew on a button (ha!). Neither of my daughters are interested in sewing, so it's just me. But that's okay - that means I have a stash nobody can sneak items from. More for me!!

Char said...

I think you chose them because they are created by mother daughter teams.
My daughter has never really been interested in sewing but see is a budding artist so there's still hope.

Annie - I'm sorry I forgot to take your number with me to meet up with you at HMQS yesterday. I'm sure we were like "ships passing in the night" with no idea who each other was - LOL. But I'm pretty sure I heard your laughter in the crowd!

Christine M said...

My mother doesn't sew at all but she is very encouraging in my endeavours!

I wish my mom lived close enough so we could do things together!
