No TTMT Today…Remembering with Stained Glass

Hey all, I want to leave a quick note for my friends and readers and let you know that there will be no Talk To Me Tuesday today.

We’ve had another death in the family and I just can’t face recording a video right now. You may remember, that we lost my grandmother almost three weeks ago.

My wonderful, amazing, kick ass mother-in-law, Carol, passed away yesterday and aside from telling you this, I’m pretty much speechless.

Instead of sharing stories or thoughts or a lot of words, I want to share some of her stained glass. It was one of the many things that she mastered and she was amazing at it. This is just a tiny sampling from my own photos. I hope you enjoy them.

stained glass by my mil, Carol

This final photo is a quilt that I made based on the piece shown at the very top of this post, which hangs in my kitchen window.Before I started sharing my patterns online, I made a version of this for Carol. With her permission, I then shared the pattern with the world. It makes me happy to think there are more versions of this floating around out there.

Aw, Jen. I’m so sorry, I teared up thinking about what you’re going through. Sometimes the blows come all at once, and remind you how much you love those you love… but also, that you are strong. My condolences. 😦

Lost both my parents within 3 weeks of one another a few years ago and I still feel it. I quilt to make the days go by and I am thankful to be using her machine to piece with. Her Scissors are awesome too. It will take time and yet we will never be over it. I still miss them and I can understand how you are feeling right now. Huggs my blogging friend. Prayers for peace to enter your soul real soon.
