My exchange partner for the wintry scene sent a lovely snowy landscape. Thank you very much, Pat!
Also in siggieland I was very spoiled, this week the postman brought 4 of them.
I selected some names from the list I received, all from different countries. I hope I can find the time to stitch some more siggies and send them out.
I had some thoughts about the clothes of my late husband. I will gather his shirts (when I feel ready for it) and make a quilt out of the fabric. So I will have a beautiful remembrance and he will keep me warm always. I ordered some books to get ideas and than make some rough sketches to see what suits me best. I'm a beginner in that matter, only made some small placemats, so the design will not be too difficult. Also I want to stitch it all by hand. I wonder how long it will take, but it will be a labour of love.
The snow has melted away but the weather stays cold. I hope it will stay dry as I want to walk the dog, he wouldn't get out in the snow, only in the garden for a short while, but not for more than 5 minutes. I should excersise more too, so walking will be good for both of us.

You made some very nice Christmas cards lately.
I love your idea of how you want to use your husband's shirts. It will be a wonderful work of love and it will do you good to have such a warm and beautiful quilt always around to snuggle in and keep you warm.
I love your idea to make a quilt out of your DH's clothes. What a precious memory to cherish. Great cards and siggies!

Hello Edith,
Found your blog through Carolyn NC. How sad to read you have just lost your husband I really feel for you and a quilt it such a lovely idea. Why don't you keep one or two to wear as a house coat in the summer, when you first get up in the mornings.
And some great ideas for cards, it has made me think what I could do
Blessings
