Last year we lost a lot of loved ones, I found cross stitching was a way of coping for me. The green one I made for my "niece" my sister's step daughter when my brother in law passed from diabetes.

The completed yellow one I made for my ex sister in laws mom when she passed from angiosarcoma.

The two uncompleted ones are going to two of her best friends! Eventually I am going to make 3 smaller ones for her 3 children.

All of these I shocked myself with because they were all free hand with no pattern
