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.

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~
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you both.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your pattern - I shall include it in a picture I am stitching in memory of my mother.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

I lost my Mum too and I know the feeling. I would love to be able to talk with her again. We were really close. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteMay 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.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
Thank you all for your kind comments. Your sentiments are a great comfort. I know it will be a long time before this ache in my heart eases up, but that's okay.
