Earlier this year, a well-known lady in our community was moving to be with a long-lost love in Michigan and her church had arranged a get-together to wish them well and send them on their way.  We were sad to see her go, but so very happy she had found love and companionship in a partner that truly adores her (and visa versa).

Normally, if I were in charge of such a reception, I would have made a quilt that folks could sign.  But alas, a quilt was already made for them – with each of our names machine embroidered on strips of fabric:

Instead, a novel idea was born and this beautiful piece of wood contained the signatures, well-wishes and love for our friend to take to her new home:

A beautiful and special tribute to a great lady.  May she continue to find love and happiness in her life.
