Stitches West!

Swatches ready to go for Margaret Fisher's Perfect Seams class!

I have never been confident or satisfied with my seams. Hopefully that will change!

I'm taking my Vine Vest which has waited unseamed since last summer. I'm hoping to seam it up in my hotel room after the class. Then pick up and knit the edging and wear it this spring.

She asked that this hymn be sung at her funeral,

Hymn of Promise

In the bulb there is a flower
In the seed an apple tree.
In cocoons, a hidden promise.
Butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter,
There’s a spring that waits to be
Unrevealed until its season.
Something God alone can see.

-Natalie Sleeth, 1986

She was my mother and I ache to talk with her again.
