Friday Finish Again

This time on a Tuesday.

Hope I don't confuse you all.

Here are my latest finishes.

Voila

Viola Martini is completed.

This was a pattern I changed to

add in my great-grandmothers names

to pay homage to them.

If you remember, I started this idea

of stitching my heritage wall back in 2022.

Mom and I travelled to all of the cemeteries

so I could record the dates of my relatives

back to my great- great grandparents. 

So far I have completed 

both my great-grandfathers & great-grandmothers.

My grandmothers.

Bob and I.

My mom and dad's wedding tribute.

My maternal grandparents with their parents.

I have many more planned but currently

working on two birds and an angel.

 I will add in all of the initials of my relatives

for this one.

Bringing these together with thread and needle,

to me is like an artist putting paint to canvas.

I only work on my samplers on Sundays...

so it will be years before these are all finished.

Then again, once I am retired, 

I may be able to add more days to devote to these.

Then I finished this.

Strawberry House.

My big beautiful blue house is complete.

Decided to use the same strawberry fabric

for the back of this pillow.

Although I did not put a strip 

of fabric over my slit like I normally do.

I was so excited to get it finished...

that I opted not to.

You will see this again in one

of my patriotic displays.

In other news,

please pray for those affected by 

the horrible devasting flood in Texas.

I cannot even fathom having that much

rain come down in such a short time.

My heart aches for those who lost their lives.

Texas Strong Blessings To All!
