Today is not May 14 th, but what I’m writing about happened on this day . It was a very wonderful day ,for I enjoyed both my mother in law and my mom. One is 13 hrs driving timing and the other 10 1/2 hrs . Slim chance that it will happen again for one is 80 ,though in good health, my mom 76 not so much in good health, but that isn’t the important thing today.
Mom made a set of pillowcases for my son’s wedding and a pillowcase for each of the girls here at home yet.
Russell’s set ….more detail..
And this is what the girls looked like
It is just lovely embroidery, right? And it is lovely ,only there’s more to it than just lovely embroidery. Mom is totally blind in one eye,and very limited sight on the other side. Often one walks with her to guide her when she goes walking. So to do this she wears a magnifying glass around her neck with a very bright light over her work. It is a beautiful sight to see this beautiful old lady in a chair stitching away!!
Bet you had to go back to relook at that stitching.😉
Now back to my stitching as Russell’s quilt top needs to be finished this week.
Deb
ps.. daughter LouAnn framed hers … say it was to pretty to use as a pillowcase.
