a favorite Cheri pattern
the other day some new fabric arrived in the mail...
Mom loved one of the pieces
telling me it's a perfect background
for applique
when have I heard that before?
I put the fabric in for a quick wash
then headed for my pattern collection
I knew one of my many (many)
Cheri patterns would catch her eye
my job is to do everything but stitch
even then I may be doing some triangles
so far we've almost pieced up the background
for the crow and flower section
applique as soon as tomorrow
=======
We totally need the distraction
Dad is not doing well
he's back at the nursing facility
with the addition of Hospice care
I visit daily as always
it gets harder to leave him
especially when he's sleeping or in pain
who am I kidding
it's always hard
today
Mom was more "there"
so it upset her a lot to leave him
some days her Alzheimer's is a blessing

oh Kelley Girl...I am so happy to read about your Mom doing some stitching! But, sad about your Dad. Daily prayers are being sent up for you. xo
That is a fun piece and good to see her wanting to stitch, good for both of you. Yes, sometimes forgetting things can be a blessing, but sad that your dad is doing so poorly.

Sorry about your dad. Tis a good thing you and mom are working on an applique together. It is a distraction you both need at this time yet brings you both closer.

Love that pattern too! So glad your mom is in the mood for a little stitching. So sorry to hear the news about your dad. Keeping you in my prayers. Love & hugs, Lori
My heart breaks for you and your family.
it warms my heart to give your mom a bit of stitching joy.....
Hospice should be a great help to you during this difficult time.
