Your stories are so moving, and your website simply the best. The backpack and coat you made for your son are a celebration.

I’ve come to this entry late!–I’m still reading through all the posts–and I swear, Kathleen, that backpack is the most beautiful backpack I’ve ever seen, because of why it was made and how it was used. You made my mother’s heart sing with this.

Okay, and I like the colors. ;D

Re: children’s coats
I’d certainly participate. Perhaps several of us in the Denver area could get together and slam out a number for our local shelters.

One of life’s great ironies: GOOD people have the hardest time focusing on their personal beauty, even though they have the most of it.

I used to teach coat sewing -free- provided it’s a children’s coat and it is donated to a battered women’s shelter. If you think you might be interested in a project like this, do let me know.

What a beautiful idea! I’d be interested.

Oh Kathleen, what did not kill us only strengthened us. I was in the same situation and I finally left my spouse when he refused to let me have the car to drive 20 miles to my baby brother’s wedding, after promising me. I remember working so hard and then spending weekends sewing little homemade creative animal appliques on the knees of my boys’ clothing so they could wear them longer. Your stories really belong in publication. I would love to buy one; would even pay in advance. Blessings and best wishes to you. I love this blog.

There are no words for your stories. I only hope that the two friends from your stories will get back in touch with you and re-establish broken ties. I think both would, or at least I hope they would.

Kathleen, thanks for sharring those sad hartbreaking memories and the garments who were part of it.

[hugs for Kathleen] I can only hope to have as much determination and strength as you do. The pieces are absolutely beautiful. Please add me to the list for the children’s coat class. I’d love to learn.
