A Heavy Heart

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Lisa Roswell of Primitive Needle at Nashville Market..  Those in the stitching community  knew her best for her Halloween Designs but her personality was so polar opposite.  She was extremely cheerful and charismatic.  I found out this afternoon that she passed away in rushing flood waters while driving to work.  She was an oncology nurse, a very difficult line of work, that takes a very empathetic approach.  She will be missed greatly.  My thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues. I am so thankful that I got to meet this wonderful lady.

So sad to learn of Lisa's sudden passing. She was truly a gifted and wonderful designer. May she rest in peace. You are so kind to write this lovely tribute to her memory.
