I have been absent for a whileKeeping busy painting the outside of our farm house Starting to look good but Iam a bit stiff and sore
Been a while since I have done much of that sort of thing
I made a start on the quilt I want to make using Lorraine's clothes
The hardest part was that first cut
I feel very close to her as I stitch her clothes into what will be a lasting memory of her to hand down to my grandchildren
You are good doing the painting Illene that is something I must do tooo.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to see you have started that very special quilt and it is looking great.
