Quilting Threads Memories: A Recent Loss and Mister Rogers

Leslie and Rochelle catch up and reminisce about their Doug Leko interview. Rochelle catches everyone up on her life and what has been going on with her parents health. Unfortunately, Rochelle's father, Richard passed on December 17th so she has taken some time to grieve privately before discussing. 

The girls also chat about the pickle in the Christmas tree. Rochelle makes sure that we are all educated on where this came from. They chat about the table runner Leslie has been making for her camper and discover it is actually a take from a previous quilt pattern of Doug Leko's. Find out which one!

Rochelle talks about an idea to mend one of her pairs of shorts. Listen to her amazing idea and make sure to send encouragement for her to actually do it. 

Leslie talks about recently watching A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. She is a big fan of Mister Rogers and grew up with his show and she talks about the kindness that came from his ability to listen to others and appreciate silence. So much noise in the world and silence is so valuable.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Richard E. Rice, Sr. (1931-2023).
May his memory be for a blessing.
