A TRIP TO MEET SWEETIE

Today, George and I took a trip to Pennsylvania and back so I could meet Sweetie. Today, they had a fun raiser to award a scholarship in her daughter's name. Most of you know, her daughter was murdered a little over a year ago, and they have not yet found the murderer. They had a spagetti dinner to raise the money. I am so happy we made the trip, she is so worth meeting. They are giving this to a student who would not normally qualify for a scholarship, it will not be based on grades. What a wonderful thing to do, her daughter Michelle put it all together. She has a great family, I was able to meet them.

I embroidered this tote bag for her on my embroidery machine. It has a little touch of Holland in blue work. She loves blue.

The lining is blue and white checks.

She has a new Great Granddaughter and she is named after her Grandmother, the one who was killed, Sherry. Since they spelled her first name Haylee, she won't find her name on things. I know, my Great Granddaughter is Haali. I embroider her name on things. Sweetie told me she uses her full name. I saw the baby and she is a little darling.

I bought the outfit, then put the name on it.

I did practice names in different fonts and colors, so I took the practice fabric to her so maybe later she can use them on something.

It was a long day, it is five hours each way, but it was really worth it. Thanks to George, I wouldn't have done it by myself and I really wanted to go and surprise her. She was working in the kitchen and one of her Grand children went to tell her to come out. She didn't work while I was there, she sat down with us. LOL.
