She has written about what it has been like for her to do the sewing of the memorial textiles (called antependia) that we have co-created in memory of her Nana, my precious mother in law….. we both found it to be very stirring to put huge effort into creating a loving memorial to a marvelous woman who was central in our lives.

Here’s her entry: Chloë  and the memorial textiles

Here’s what I wrote about this process:

1] Starting the weaving 

2] a not so stellar moment…. 

3] weaving…. 

4] weaving a metaphor

5] my part finished…. 

Sunday morning, we’ll be participating in the dedication of the altar cloth,  pulpit banner and  table runners.  Jim’s trio is going to play, and a friend of ours, a fabulous singer, is going to be singing. It’s going to be wonderful….

I’ll take some pics and post them……

Aren’t these wonderful? They are necklaces that my oh so brilliant daughter, Chloë Findlay-Harder, has designed and made, combining felted cords with beads. I love love love these necklaces.

Chloë has given me permission to upload her pics and to link to the original source, which is her etsy store. So, here’s the first link: Chloë’s First Fab Felted Necklace

and here’s another one of these necklaces…. awesome…..

and here’s the original link for the second necklace. I have also received Chloë’s permission to post pics of this, too.

b5 is VERY VERY careful about bloggers ONLY using their own copyright material and to get permisison for using other people’s photos, so that’s why I am being so obsessive about the fact that I DO have permission to do this.
