..Memories of Lu |
|
…she gave me the bug the quilting bug It’s now in my blood I live, eat and sleep quilting There is no cure! |
 |
|
…Lu introduced a new word in
my vocabulary STOCKPILE
|
|
 |
…always had a cheerful word
for everyone always that beautiful smile and cute little laugh of hers |
| …blue purple colour, truly Lu’s colours |
 |
| ...who will ever forget early December morning sales? | |
 |
...mischievous twinkle in her eye |
| …it was like a social event to shop there |
 |
 |
…she gave me all the
encouragement and confidence that I needed to complete the quilt |
|
…KEEP THOSE SHOULDERS DOWN, DON’T TENSE UP...RELAX |
 |
 |
Lu was the first person who greeted me made people feel welcome she was a truly kind person |
| …it would just bubble out of her | |
| …she honoured hand piecing and hand quilting |
 |
 |
...a fervent desire to share quilting |
...welcoming hugs infectious giggle and ever present smile |
 |
 |
...the teapot was always ready |
|
|
…my first two classes wonderful desserts |
| …fond memories of Lu sewn in | |
| …infectious giggle …genuinely enthusiastic |
 |
 |
…trunk shows at the guild |
|
…FAMILY, FUN, FAVORS & FOOD This all adds up to many favourable and fond memories of Lu |
 |
 |
…that’s not a ¼ “ |
| …two little elves…had already removed the wrongly placed piece |
 |
|
…this “shopkeeper” was so
warm and friendly bubbling over with enthusiasm and fun |
|
 |
…the ever-present love that she shared with everyone so very freely |
| Lu picked out the stitches for me |
 |
 |
…Lu (and Willi) were charming …all the patience in the world |
| …beginners classes with Lu |
 |
 |
Life is short Live each day Smile… |
| … Willi-Lu | |
 |

|
...The picture that remains
in my mind is of a cheerful, kind and compassionate friend, with a wonderfully mischievous twinkle in her eye!!
