Basket of Memories

 On June 15th, our family had to say goodby to my "little" brother, Leonard Eugene Little after a very short battle with cancer. He left behind four daughters, two sisters, seven grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

I wanted to stitch something for his three New Zealand daughters who came to this country to be his primary caregivers. The three girls are amazing young women. 

I chose Basket of Memories by Blackbird Designs which I had stitched in the past for Barb Adams who was one half of the Blackbird Designs team. 


 I chose a piece of 14 count Vintage Oat aida by Zweigart and three different colors of Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss to use for each small pillow. On the back, I will add my brother's name and his birth and death year.
