This is about my Mom Adriana.Some of you have met her or have seen some photo's of her on my Blog.
She is an inspiration and I'm so blessed to have her so close to me . I see her often and we stitch together at least twice a week.
The best part she is 92. (93 in Aug). She had eye surgery in Dec. and Jan. and now once again can see very very well. She had Cataracts removed. She stitched right up to the day of the surgery and very soon after. We got her a pair of cheaters. to tie her over.
This is what she has stitched since then. She received this kit from my SIL and couldn't wait to start. I think it was late Jan.This is.... A Gold Collection Dementions Kit. " Holiday Village" by Nicky Boehme,
the fabric is 16ct Aida , the finished piece is 12" X 16"
She finished it today.
Isn't it just the most beautiful piece?
I'll be taking it in next week to have it framed for her.
She'll help pick out the frame I'm sure.
I needed to share this with you because I love her .
Stitch with happy fingers.

WOW! What a stunning piece your mom stitched, it is so gorgeous! Beatrice, you are so fortunate to be able to stitch with your mom.
Whoa - what a beautiful piece and such a FAST finish! It would take me years to get that done!
Congratulate your Mum for me!
Hi Beatrice,
I am in awe of your Mom!!!! She is
truly amazing and so darn lucky to
be able to stitch such beautiful
projects, and so quickly too. I'm
glad the cataract surgeries went
so well for her. They certainly
haven't slowed her down any have
they?? Holiday Village is going
to look amazing when it's all
framed.
Did you walk this evening Beatrice?
It was spitting rain when I left
the house, but I had my spring
jacket on so wasn't concerned.
Just pulled up the hood and kept
going. But it soon started to
rain harder. By the time that
I finished my half hour walk I
was pretty wet all over. Ah well.
Fortunately I love to walk in the
rain. But I kept hearing Gene
Kelly's voice in my head ....
Singing in the Rain....
Cheers!
Cheers!
Your mom is amazing. Congratulate her for me. It is a beautiful piece.
Beautiful! Can't wait to see a pic in the frame. Your mother is amazing! She is so fortunate to be in such good health.
Beatrice, your mom is an amazing woman. Her stitching is wonderful. Congratulations to her on finishing such a beautiful and elaborate piece.
Your mother never ceases to amaze me, Beatrice! She's such an incredibly fast and talented stitcher. Beautiful piece.

I feel blessed today because I have met Adriana and look forward to seeing her again. What a beautiful piece of stitching, we are all inspire to be just like her when we grow up!
I think your mom is an inspiration for all of us who thinks that they will have to give up on stitching as they get older because of the sight ;-) She always stitch beautiful pieces ! Please, tell her she's the greatest !!!
That is incredible! It's so encouraging to hear about her stitching.
Your Mom is one amazing lady ! It would have taken me years to complete that project. Look forward to seeing it framed.
Wow!!! Just wow! Good for her!
Oh Beatrice!! Your mother is beautiful and honestly, not saying this to be nice, but she doesn't look anywhere near her age!
and her finish is absolutely gorgeous! She stitches faster than me, that's for sure! Congrats to your mom!!
Wowza! that's a beautiful finish, A huge Congrats! to her.
OMG that is just the most amazaing piece ever!

That is a truly beautiful piece. I cannot believe she is stitching in her ninetys. That is super and I hope I can be that lucky, good for her. I wish I had Heidi closer, so I could stitch with her each week.
