Are you sick of mug rugs yet? I made this one for a workshop I will be teaching at the local quilt shop, The Quilt Block in Exton. I think it is kind of cute.
I needed some cute. We are attending tomorrow, the second funeral within a week. While I know it is a part of life it stills knocked me down, unexpectedly. The viewing we went to today was for a 69 year old woman who died of Alzheimer's. That is too young to die. The most touching part to me was on her holy card, the part where it has their birth and death date, it had her husband's wedding vow to her. You know the first part that includes "in sickness and in health". For some reason it just really got to me. He is an over the top husband and was truly with her through thick and thin to the end. I love that vows still matter in this world.
Here is some detail if you are still reading this.....
This is the book and it has lots of Christmas ideas. It's by Nancy Halvorsen. For those of you who are local you can contact the Quilt Block {610-363-0404}and they can give you more details.
