Life is fragile and last week emphasized the fact. We lost our dear friend so suddenly and it has shocked us all.
We are now left with our own memories of the lovely lass that was Sarah.
Maxine and I will remember how she loved to join in with Tilly Tea Dance workshops. She often came to Shrewsbury with Eva to enjoy a day's needle felting and I know she loved the finished pieces which she gave as gifts to friends and family. I used to pop up to the venue to have a chat and a catch up.
I found this beautiful little robin that she made with Tilly and shared on her WOYWW blog.
And this is Sarah's Bluebell woods picture.
She had quite a talent in needle felting and made some beautiful pictures over the years.
She also, very kindly, supported Maxine by buying her tiny pieces of felted artwork and had a shelf specially for them.
She even collected frames for Maxine, from Stoke, when we couldn't buy them in Shrewsbury.
Such was the lovely, thoughtful lass we knew and loved.
We were so glad when she stepped in to take over from Julia and keep WOYWW going. Now I hope Julia can pick up the traces and keep our much valued little group of crafters together.
Sarah will be much missed by us all.
Our thoughts are with her family and friends especially Eva.
Thinking of you all.

Hi Jo. I still keep thinking it's a mistake and Sarah is still here, she was just so full of life that it's difficult to believe she's gone. I'm with you, she deserved time to enjoy her crafting after retirement but in the years that I was teaching there were a few great people who died not long after leaving the profession, it's so sad.Thoughtful post. WOYWW hugs, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad thing to happen, she was obviouly loved by many people. and especially sad since she just retired. Big hugs to us all😢❤️and especially to her family, and a big "thank you" to Sarah who was a part, however small, in all of our lives on WOYWW. Lindart #20
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about the felting classes, I remember how much she enjoyed those. It's hard to believe she has gone, such a character. The flowers are most appropriate and very beautifuul. Love n hugs, Cindy xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely tribute and I had forgotten about the felting classes too, lovely memories. Kyla
ReplyDeleteA sad time for you all, losing someone as special as Sarah, especially when it was unexpected. My thoughts and prayers are with you x
