This sweet lady touched my heart with her finishing request.... You see, she lost her daughter 3 years ago.... Her adult daughter... Her adult daughter who collected angels.... So, this wonderful and very thoughtful mom, has stitched a rememberance angel each of the three years in honor of her daughter... This year she asked I finish the ornament for her... Her only request was to make it special... I love how this mom still cherishes the memories of her daughter... And, I bet she always will....
Little House Needleworks~ Hallelujah~ Three angels.......how perfect~
On the back of the ornament, her name is delicately stitched.... I used cherished hand tatted lace from my very dear friend... Who is in heaven also smiling down~
Isn't that the sweetest story??
As August winds down and September is on the horizon, I get excited just thinking about my long awaited trip to Norforgotten Farms " A Gathering of Primitive Friends Show"... Sept 20th at Notforgotten Farm in Amherst VA... I've never attended, but have really wanted to.... This is the year!!!! Here is the link for more info about this great event~
Signing out for now..... Enjoy the rest of the week!!!

Every time I remain astonished by the precision and beauty of your finishing, every detail is a perfect combination of the right color and all this makes your work unique,compliments my friend Faye! ♥
Beautiful finishes, and what a touching story for the angel ornament. Love the little charm on it.
Lovely finishes!
beautiful!!
Lovely, unique work Faye. You did a superb job on the angel piece for her. :)
Lovely finishes, and a very sweet story about the angel ornament. So special that you used the tatted lace from your friend for the back. I bet it's fun to have a bunch of new first graders every year! That is such a fun age!
AS ALWAYS, such a lovely post full of beautiful pictures and a heart-felt & touching story this time too. Your work is just perfect! Wishing you all the best with your darling little class this year! Hugs, Sis! :)
Beautiful as always. And such a touching angel piece.
Visiting you blog is a wonderful treat...thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas.
As always your finishes are fantastic!
Stunning finishes Faye. Each one is very special, especially the little angel ornament in memory of her daughter. Have fun with your new Grade 1's! We wish, as teachers here in BC, that we can go back to work but the government isn't going to back down and make a deal with us...so sad.
Aww, what a sweet thing that mom does. Love all the finishing you do!
Your special touches make some of the most simple designs look spectacular! The Gathering looks like a grand time, too.
All of your finishing is darling Faye and your most special angel finish is stunning and perfect!
Stunning. Love them all! X
Wonderful finishes as always! I really love Happy 4th.
As always .. your finishing is lovely .. so are the stitched pieces .. love seeing them all
Faye everything you do is so special - from your finishing to how you feel about each project. You can just tell you put your heart into what you do. I can also tell you are a great teacher - someone who really cares and nurtures - what a jewel - I do hope to get to meet you one day. Glad you are making the trek to Notforgotten Farm - I have hooked several of her patterns but I don't think I have stitched any - funny huh? take care Mel
I enjoy looking at all of the beautiful pieces. so pretty.
What a wonderful new range of "Faye"-Finishings. Love them all.
And I am very touched of this amazing but still sad story!
Hugs

Beautiful finishes as always, Faye! Good luck with your little ones. My Hubby is always stoked at the beginning of the school year but it seems to wear off earlier and earlier each year. Of course, he has much older little ones (high school)! LOL
Very sweet story Faye and fabulous finishes as always.
Take Care

So many lovely stitches. I am glad you are getting to go to the gathering. You'll be in your element!
Your work is so beautiful Faye. I love all the little details that make each finish so special. What a touching story about the angel ornament. You finished it so beautifully.
Just GORGEOUS!
Enjoy the little ones and have a great school year!
How sweet those angels are. I think you are a perfect person to finish her ornament!
The strawberry piece, with the French General fabric - do you know the pattern name or designer?
As always, your finishing and stitching is fabulous!
What beautiful finishing work!
