Pillow cover progress

So far I have added one element to my summer-themed pillow cover...

Looking at the photo, it appears as though the lighthouse has 'wings'.  Hmm....must add another cloud to mask that!

For today's quote (and perhaps for another little series) I will share with you one of the poems that my mother wrote...
I wonder as I dream tonight
In this poetic way
Will this find a place among
My dreams of yesterday.
Tis thrice we met since those long years
When another love held sway
Surely can't be love that now
Makes me feel this way.
It seems I need a shoulder
Someone who will lend 
The comfort of a hand on mine
True value of a friend.
But these are only dreams it seems
On foundations not to last
Surely there will come a day
Unfounded by the past.
It's true my heart is empty
But tis not made of stone
And I can find no recompense
Within the bounds of home.

    I think Angel Wings are quite appropriate for a Lighthouse that saves lives in times of darkness and danger. Your pillow will be amazing.

    I hadn't actually noticed the 'wings' until you mentioned them😀 But, seriously, your pillow is coming along beautifully. Thank you for the links, especially the glossary one. I've bookmarked that one for future reference.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
