Oh, how wonderful! What a way to feel that connection again! I have
not doubt you will write about this in your journals, the feelings you
get and the experience of "seeing" her in the fabric.
I hope I speak for more than just me to say "we look forward to seeing
the tops in a link you post, and what you decide to do with it!"
