Such a sweet gift

Each year, the members of Fiber Art Options (a Charlotte area group of fiber artists) pull names out of a hat and make a small gift for that person. Today, I received this lovely piece from my friend Debbie Langsam. It is a photo of me with my mother in 1964, altered in Photoshop and printed on fabric, then quilted. The poem is a favorite of both my mother and me. You can see the original photo and read the poem in my earlier post. 

Debbie is such a kind and generous person, and I am deeply touched by this very personal gift. Thank you so much, Debbie!

P.S. Debbie and her husband Joal run Barking Dog Chocolatiers, and donate all the profits of their delicious chocolates to charity. So if your sweet tooth is calling, consider an order! I can tell you from experience that you won’t be sorry.
