Hello, Sunshine!
Can I interest you in a little basket of blooms?
I have been stitching away on a little pink basket for a sweet girl that I never personally knew. Her name was Lois Ann.
Lois Ann was a beautiful girl with long flowing brown hair, bright eyes and the sweetest smile. How do I know? Well I have seen photos of her.
Actually, Lois Ann was my aunt, but she went to Heaven as a child way before my time.

| A Basket for Lois is a small stitch with a design size of 42 x 41. |
Little Lois Ann was stricken with polio when she was just 3 years old and was paralyzed. Most of her time was spent in hospitals and in an iron lung. But from what I have been told, she was always full of cheer.
Little Lois Ann loved to sketch the most beautiful drawings . All one had to do was help her by putting a pencil in her mouth, and then she would create magical creations on paper. Bless her sweet heart.

Movie stars and singers from long ago would visit her. She was a special little girl and still is in our family's eyes.
I would like to think that little Lois Ann is skipping in Heaven, gathering flowers and putting them in her own little basket and drawing until her heart is content.

Did you know that most of my charts have some form of a "nod" to my family members? Sometimes I name a chart after a family member or I create a design based on a family story. When I am slow stitching , I like to think about my family , our history and such. It brings me peace and relaxation. Do you do the same?
Well Sweet Friends, I will let you go. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me and for listening to the story of little Lois Ann.
Have a beautiful day!
As Always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.
