Happy Birthday Mom!
Today is my mom's birthday and I just wanted to tell you how talented my mom is...
She is one of the best seamstresses that I have ever met. I may be biased when it come to this sort of stuff, but anytime you meet someone the ask if you are related to Jan Ballard....(it could be the eyes.) Depending on the person I usually say proudly "yes." Unless it is just someone that wants to know their location. They almost always respond like this, "Your mom is the most creative, talented seamstress that I have ever met."
It's true! She sews everything by hand. Not many people do that anymore, it is an unbelievable gift. My husband always goes ga-ga over the things that she makes for us and the girls.
For instance she made us by hand an Irish chain queen sized quilt. She has made all the girls blessing gowns. And when she has an idea of what to make the girls for Christmas or birthdays it is usually a free hand sewing masterpiece. Like the Mermaid on the girls wall. Or the postage stamp babies blankets the each of the girls have. She is wonderful.
Happy Birthday mom!
I love you and am thankful for all the joy that you have brought into my life and the lives of my family.
