Lament for Laura

I discovered in shock and horror that the stitching community has lost a good friend, Laura Watkiss, suddenly last Friday night. I did not know her in person, but she was one of the first people I "met" on the stitching boards. I followed her life through her posts, and her blog. Her gorgeous, stitched Kiss inspired me to fall in love with and stitch the piece. I have chatted with her a few times. It's hard to believe that she's gone. She was younger than I am.

My thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Neil, and her family. Laura, you will be missed.
