    Default Miniature Wholecloths

    The two smaller ones are 8" square. They will be put on a canvas and the binding will wrap around the edge of the canvas making a frame. The canvas is 1" deep. The art council raises money for scholorships by selling the art work. Each year I donate one. Last year they asked about a second so this year I will give two if they need them. The third, a whopping 11 1/2" square will be cut down further. The center is a doily my Mother had made. I will give it to my brother for a remembrance of her. She lived to 102 living in her own home alone until close to her 102nd birthday. I am amazed by that. She was a very good seamstress and crafter.

    Deb, your work is exquisitely beautiful. How wonderful that your Mom was active and able to live on her own to 102. I am sure she would be very proud of your work.

    My Mother is living on her own at 85 and doing quite well. I hope she is able to live always on her own. She had quite a time with my Dad in the nursing care facility that he was in for a few years and it drove her nuts. Blessings to you.
