Happy Mother's Day !!!!!

Beautiful Quotes about Mom:

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children. A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

Mother is the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.

In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

The only love that I really believe in is a mother’s love for her children.

No man is poor who has a Godly mother.

                                                                             

No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed. 

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. 

Love You Mom forever !!!!

Basic History:

Renaissance, French and Italian nuns and monks used quilling to decorate book covers and religious items in the 16th and 17th centuries. Nuns on the above continents decorated reliquaries and holy pictures, adding gilding and much ornamentation. The paper most commonly used was strips of paper trimmed from the gilded edges of books. These gilded paper strips were then rolled to create the quilled shapes. 

In the 18th century, quilling became popular in Europe where gentle ladies of quality ("ladies of leisure") practiced the art. It was one of the few things ladies could do that was thought not too taxing for their minds or gentle dispositions. Quilling also spread to the Americas and there are a few examples from Colonial times.
