About six weeks ago, I participated for the very first time in Beverly's Pink Saturday blog party. It was a special Saturday, as we were all posting about breast cancer, sharing stories of love, loss, and faith.
At that time, I shared my own personal touch with cancer, the story of Anita (we call her Bebe). Our family is heading out to Philadelphia this weekend; my beloved mother-in-law is not doing well.
So, it is with much love, respect, and admiration that I dedicate today's Pink Saturday post to our dearest Bebe.
...this fabric collage was a project I began a few weeks ago as a gift for Bebe. The doves cross-stitched embroidery I completed over 12 years ago when I worked on monogrammed towels for my inlaws on their 40th wedding anniversary... the embroidery sat in an "uncompleted projects" box, which I recently opened. I thought she might like having this little quilt (I've included vintage laces and linens) to hang on her bedroom wall. It's now coming with me to Philadelphia; just don't know if she'll be alert enough to see it .
My last rose bloom of this year.... I discovered this lone pink stem yesterday.... there it sat, very proudly (almost regally) in the midst of all the browns, yellows, and golds of Fall.
Bebe loves roses... especially pink ones.
Hope your Saturday is a good one!
Love the roses!! They are so beautiful! I too am enjoying my last blooms of the year! Love your cross-stitch..I'm sure she will be so very excited to receive such gifts from you! I promise to keep yall all in my prayers!
