Once Upon a Story Row Along

I love participating in the Row Along every year and I’m especially excited to play around with the fun, whimiscal fabric from Northcott!  Unfortunately, my Northcott version is incomplete.  As you will know if you read my last post, my husband, Phil,  passed away on September 15th.  It was sudden and unexpected and devastating.  Needless to say, my life is more than a little disorienting right now.

For my block, I choose Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. I love, love, love Sawtooth stars and use them frequently.  Here’s my block in it’s entirety in my practice colors 20190622_140518

And here’s the beginning of my block featuring this pretty pink with grey accents fabric!

Many, many thanks to all the wonderful sponsors and to Marian at Seams to Be Sew for coordinating all of this.  I think she’s earned the title of Chief Cat Herder!

Be sure to check out all of today’s designs and there are lots of prizes, too!

  73. I’m sorry for your loss. But thank you for the block. My thoughts go out to you.

  74. I just found out about this Story Row A Long today. I was going through to collect the patterns that I could when I came to yours…I lost my husband in January. Also sudden, unexpected and devastating. I have no wisdom to impart. No words that will help. I just came through what would have been our 39th wedding anniversary…it fell on the 8 month anniversary of his death. I am just now coming out of shock. I am just now beginning to cry. To cry rivers of tears that will not stop. It took me 7 months to come out of the shock to understand the true implications of all of this. I am telling you this in case you feel you are being cold hearted. You aren’t. Sudden and unexpected. It is going to take you some time. It might take you years. That is alright. Take it as it comes. Don’t force anything, it won’t work. I will be holding you in my prayers.

    • I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. It helps to hear from others who’ve been there. I’m honestly worried about when the shock wears off. Please stay in touch. Hugs.

  75. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star will be your call sign as you grieve. Take your time.
