Klosjes and Hexies for Grandma...


These are my Klosjes for this Saturday!  Just the spools, not yet ironed, a little frayed and worn, but resembling Klosjes, none the less!!!  Leaving rather quickly for Canada, I managed to grab a bag of stamped fabrics for the trip.  I made these sitting beside my Mom's bed, stitching while she slept.   In her waking hours, I showed her all of the pretty colours and she smiled when she saw them.



She especially liked the red and blue hexies I was working on! I put them in front of her on a pillow so she could look at them.  It was then I decided I would dedicate this project to her.  I'm going to call it "Grandma Helga's Flower Garden" in honour of my dear Mom, who loved growing all kinds of beautiful plants and flowers.


Little Seyja is growing quickly!  Here she is with brother, Ari! 


Ari and Axel both love their little sister!!!

Have a wonderful weekend, all!

Hugs,
Mary Ann

Still as incredibly talented as ever! I am sorry to have heard about your mother and glad you made it to spend time with her.
I am hoping to see Heather and her beautiful family when we are in BC next month.
