Memorial weaving-3

I’ve been immersed in weaving bands that are going to be part of a memorial for a woman I adored- my late mother-in-law. She was an amazing and delightful woman who was a joy and one of the dearest friends and greatest influences in my life.
I’ve written about it before - memorial textiles
For the last few days, I have been deeply immersed in finishing up the bands so my daughter can take them and stitch them to the ‘antependia’ (sacred textiles).
There’s nothing like knowing that if you don’t get your part of the project done, then the project doesn’t get done! eep
So, weave weave weave…. I’ve woven miles of bands…. and now, I get to pass them to my daughter, for her to make her magic with.
She’s good.
She’s REALLY good!
She’s her grandmother’s granddaughter for sure :o)
Oh Noreen, these bands are so beautiful! What a lovely memorial to Mum you and your wonderful daughter have created. I want a photo of them in place, and will easily be able to imagine Mum smiling at them. Thank you!
I felt so close to Mum while I was weaving the bands. There is a sense of timeless connection that happens in the quiet integrative, meditative process of weaving.
It makes me feel that I am part of a river of energy that flows backwards and forwards in time, connecting me to those who came before and those to follow….
I am so proud of you both. Can I be in your band.
Snivel. What a great memorial to our Mumsy
Love
Jimmy
