I LIKE # 21: Memories of Mom

                                                            Welcome to my Home

{note: since I've been sick for a week, I haven't gone out to take photos,
                          So I thought I'd show you my Welcome Banner in my front Hall}
And what it represents for me.....................

[Please join us at Lee Anna's Place to visit our group of positive quilters and
see what we like each week]
***************************************

I made this a few years ago during an online class with
Jude at Spirit Cloth's blog------ soon after my Mom's passing away.

It is all scissor cut and hand sewn together.
 I used low key scraps and attached it to light weight muslin cloth.




{I like}💝 how
 the
three little houses
in the woods--are sitting in front of those
trees...with the little one sheltering behind...

I used precious remnants
I had been hoarding...
then I hand stitched
freely...leaving some
edges raw...
                                              Which {I like} 💗...................

                 I tried to depict the deep darkness of the woods at night with those owls....
                                       and the BIG MOON radiating shafts of light:




                           A sort of kantha stitching trial....using perle cottons.....

As this was a memory piece also,
                              I included my Grand-mere's crocheted lace on top and
this one
little
shade pull
'''

                                                          for "nighty-night" darkness


                                        { I like 💓} how the lace adds to that Olde World effect I was
                                                           hoping to achieve.....and times gone by...

                               Mom's little house wind chime for her window in her Nursing home
                                                      added another remembrance...
                                                  I Suspended it on a twisted branch cut from
                                          the Home's garden on one of our last walks together;

 and finally................................I added ....................................

          One of the broken shells we so often would gather after our walks to the beach,,,
        {I like}💔 how now, every time I walk by, I remember our times together...

*************************************************
I think that when you are sick, you want your Mom...I know I do///even at 76....💕

Hugs to you all; and thanks for bearing with me during my absence last week

Hugs, Julierose La Blageuse (Remembering-euse  💗💗💗)
