261161We all have had to say goodbyes, this year and lately, so many. Buried a first cousin and my SIL's dad just this week. I texted my daughter to see if Richard had any of his daughter's clothes. I wanted to make them a pillow with this saying. Richard is working again overseas and won't be back for Christmas. He and my daughter are still having a hard time with the loss of Gracie, his daughter. Unfortunately, she said they didn't get any of Gracie's clothing. I guess I could make it anyway but usually memory pillows are made with ones clothing....

33640111092That is beautiful. Would you mind if I ask where you got it? Iād love to make one as we suffered the same loss recently

The lady who does the bears and pillows writes the stuff out and I just lay it out and stitch it so she can make the bear or pillow.......no idea where she gets the poetry....

Jim helped me finish them last night....I developed a bout of vertigo, so I sat at the machine and hooped and loaded it and he cut the stabilizer away and packed them up as I finished. Took teamwork, but they are done.....not quite as dizzy today, but just queasy now...ugh!
