This Frolic Mystery is now being turned into a Tribute quilt to our 'Hacker' family. Seems each year 'sometime' during our annual BH Mystery, 'someone' in our family meets their untimely demise. This year, my Dad's youngest brother, "Mickey" passed away suddenly. Our family sends their deepest condolences to his loved ones for their loss.
Last year, my youngest baby bro died unexpectedly following emergency abdominal surgery, and I dedicated that Good Fortune Mystery to him, since it included many of his favorite colors - including Chicago Bears Blue & Orange. I debated on finishing that quilt, since his death was just days following the launch of Good Fortune Mystery but, it was good medicine for my grief. I was able to sew through the tears while remembering ALL the good times we had.
This year, I'm enjoying remembering ALL the good family get-togethers and family dinners we used to have with Aunts and Uncles, cousins and Grandparents, while I sew on our Hacker Family Tribute quilt...
Ready for the Big Reveal? Me, too!
Later,
