Sad news for me last week

One of my 'crafting ladies' who has been coming to my house monthly since 2008 sadly and unexpectedly died last Wednesday.  It was such a shock and I still can't quite believe it.  We had our last session on Dec 8th to finish off some Christmas cards and we had arranged another session for last Sunday. I spent the day in a bit of a haze.

Her favourite craft medium was card stitching.  I think this is because she was a Tailoress before she joined the WAF at the outbreak of war and subsequently met her husband - a Spitfire pilot.

So I have made a very simple stitch card as my sympathy card to the family.  I know she would have approved.






Here are some of her cards
