This plaque is one that I put together after we lost my parents. I made each of my five siblings one, but this design was for my sisters. For my two brothers the design was more masculine, but with the same saying. The saying was something my older sister said to me one day after my daddy passed. It was posted on a wall at the nursing home where my mother had to be placed. She was in final stages of Alzheimers, and it broke our hearts to see her there. Each design I stitched was in a color to go with their homes. This one project done with much love.

Thank you - this font is actually a script font from my computer. I am able to pull these into my software and create the words. Unfortunately I can not remember exactly what one it was. I did not write it down anywhere. I seem to always do that, and then can not remember what i did.
