The long eyelashes on the mother giraffe reminded Jamie of his mom. So, Serengeti Son is, in a way, an ode to his mother. And along with the beauty of that thought, there is great beauty in the quilting of the quilt.

We just liked the name of of Patty's Quilt, Yes Ma'am Damn!, and the story behind it.

Patty Murphy writes in her blog:

Yes Ma’am Damn! won three blue ribbons at the 2006 Georgia State Fair:  one for best piecing, one for best machine quilting, and a blue ribbon because it’s awesome (my words, not those of the judges)!

The quilt was named for my friend. She tells me I was “raised right” because I always say ma’am when responding to her. My friend is in her early sixties, so it seems to me that it’s a polite reply. She is a quilter and got me onto a batik strip piecing kick.  I took all my odds and ends of batik strips and stitched them together, cut the pieces into squares, then triangles, then assembled the parts.
