It hasn't quite sunk in yet that after years of loving and leaving her, she's finally behind me. Hannah has been one of those pieces that forced me to prove myself as a stitcher. Just like she says herself, "Thy talents to improve take care...."
2 over one verses....
Some improvisation with the dividing bands and bottom border.....
Plenty of wild life and an even more formidable grassy knoll....
With a final finish in the corner I turned the night I said goodbye to my mother. A tiny crown - the last motif I stitched - is for her.
Thank you Hannah, you've been a patient teacher and a faithful friend.
