She's Stitching!

 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
