It's been a funny week! A lovely mum, Nina, from the school where I used to work won a Bafta and and Oscar, and another friend's granddaughter only lived for 2 hours. I felt the need to do something for both, so I spent a little time with Lizzie's design software and between us we created these. The baby was named Hope (they were aware there was a major health problem), and I have added 'Never forgotten' under her name in white
Having got this far I'm not sure what to do next! Maybe a drawstring bag for Hope's parents they could keep any mementos in it? Or should it be a cushion they can throw against a wall when they just want to shout "it's not fair"? And for Nina, should that be a bag or a cushion? I plan to finish them at the weekend so any suggestions much appreciated!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
