My mother died last week. It was not unexpected nor was it unwelcome. Just weeks shy of 89 years, my mother's body and mind were both worn out. I had the profound honor of holding her hand as she passed, and I rejoice in knowing that she is in the hands of the Light.

My Mother
Today, to honor her memory, I give you, "Peavine"

Peavine
It's a simple chain design with lots of potential. In a single line, it's a delicate accent. Stitched in rows, side-by-side, it becomes positively lush. The possibilities are almost endless!

Enjoy. When you stitch it, I hope you think of your own mother and your unique and special relationship with her. And smile.

Be blessed~

  1. It is tough losing a Mother, I speak to her all day long, even if she is gone for 15 years. It isn't easy.

  2. I lost my mom on March 31,2012. It is on of the hardest things i have endured. She had cancer. I have all her hats that she wore during her battle. I have been trying to come up some way i can incorporate them into a quilt. Love your stitch.

  6. May you take comfort in knowing she is watching over you. God called my mom home way too soon. But I know she is watching over me, saving me a place in Heaven.
    God bless you.
