Tomorrow, when I visit Linden House Nursing Home in Wellington to do a Sewing Box Session, I shall also be handing over the completed braided rug that I helped residents to make. I took it home to sew on their flowers and added a backing to it. It's gorgeous - so vibrant.
While we braided the rug, people shared many memories of hearth and home. When we came to make the rag rug flowers, we talked of the gardens people had lovingly tended and cultivated, still blossoming in hearts and memories.
Along with the rug I shall be handing over a record of these precious shared memories.
