Waving at you...

I hope none of you ladies have had the virus that is going around... i have done nothing but sleep for the past 3 days and felt so washed out and exhausted, no stitching/computer/household chores and not a lot else - did you miss me?

This morning i had a very sad phone call, one of the ladies from the stitchy club passed away in the early hours. I have known Hazel for more than 20 years as she used to take her grandsons to school and one of them was in the same class as my son. It was such a surprise when i joined the stitchy club to see her there, i had no idea she was a stitcher. We have shared a lot of laughs over the years and she will be greatly missed. I decided to sit and spend some time thinking about her this morning, i added the lady in to finish the SAL piece. It is 'The Friendship Tree' after all ...God Bless you Hazel.

Hope you are all fit and well and the UK ladies are enjoying the glorious sunshine we have been having for the past few days

    Your Friendship Tree is looking great, and how nice to have stitched the second lady in while thinking of your dear friend. It brought tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

    Oh Julie, I'm so so sorry to hear of your dear friend Hazel's passing. I know it is painful for you and you have my condolences.

    Your finish of the Friendship Tree is simply beautiful, and definitely a memorial. I know you'll think of Hazel when you gaze upon it.

    Many prayers,

    Ju
