I have been very remiss (lazy) in posting my main Advent gift from the lovely WendyI received four of these lovely place mats
Also chocolate but that has long since gone
She chose perfect colours for me
This was a wonderful swap and I would like to say a big Thank you to Wendy for being my swap partner and a special thanks to my dear friend Fee for paling me up with Wendy
I sincerely hope Wendy and I will continue our friendship
On the sewing front. not much is happening
I have been busy with the bathroom I have been Estapoling Layer after Layer
It will be worth it
This past week My Son in Law and I have had the unenviable task of sorting Lorraine's things
Her first anniversary was Dec 29th
The family rallied around us and we went out to lunch for a celebration of her life
I have decided that when Iam ready I will make a Memory Quilt from some of her Clothing
It will keep her close
You did recieved beautiful gifts from Wendy. It was a great swap.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you and your SIL Illene. I think a memory quilt will be wonderful.

How wonderful to make a quilt from some of Lorraine's things. I just lost a friend of mine on December 28. She was only 36.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that specific quilt when made will last for ever. My thoughts go to you,and the hard things you go through.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good 2012 year;glad you were my swap friend:-)

ReplyDeleteLovely presents for you from Wendy. I think it's the same Wendy that made my SSCS present :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea to make a quilt of your daughter's things. A lovely reminder to wrap yourself in. It's hard to get going at the beginning of the year. I haven't done much sewing yet but have made a start by making a To Do list. Wonder how long it will take me to get to the end. Hugs for now.
