RIP Donna

My dear old friend Donna Desrocher passed away last night after suffering for several years with Dementia. She knew nobody  for some time and though I have not seen her for a few years , she lives in Victoria, I think of her often. The last time I saw her she did not know me. Donna was a very talented, creative, intelligent and entertaining woman. We met when we were in our twenties and both had a family of young children. We hit it off right away and continued our friendship throughout the decades . We shared our good times and our bad times as great friends do. Our children hit it off and had wonderful time together when they were young. I know she was not with us for the past years due to the dementia but I thought of her as here. I loved her for a lifetime.
Dear Donna RIP . We'll meet again.

I had a great productive day today although I was waiting for the cleaning lady who did not come today. Ray went out because he does not like to be here when she is working in the apartment.

I took advantage of the day to do some embroidery. Everything worked. The computer was able to get the designs to my stick, I had good advice from my friend Catherine in Delaware . 

The printer also worked. I like to run off the colour sheet to help me know where to go next and  which colour to use even though I don't always use the choices offered. But it is a guideline to the design.

I enjoyed doing my embroidery today but it was a sample piece to see if  it all worked. I made the piece on a cloth and not on the towel that I plan to do.   

Here is the piece I did.

The Happy Snowman. If anyone wants him I am willing to give him away.  Just send me your address and he will be on the way.  I can pink the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying.

February love quilt. Check out all the heart varieties that you can use in a quilt  of your own.

What a honey. I love his face and the colour of his fur. I could take him home if Ray would go for it LOL. It is too much work to have a dog in an apartment . Especially having to take him outside in all kinds of weather. Neither of us are up for that.

Hexie potholder, not a good picture but you can get the idea.

And a pretty little quilt.

This is the end for tonight.

I hope you all have a great evening.

Good night.
