Talented Amma

When Asha was dedicated we were gifted a beautiful cross-stich by the wife of Dr. Colin Binks (I have purposely not written her name as she once clearly said that she never wants her name on the web). It is a collection of 5 birds and their associated plants - and has the first verse of "All things bright and beautiful" written in the centre. A beautiful piece - we have always put it in our living room in all the homes we moved to.

While Sheba's parents were here this last month, Amma took down the cross stitch and took out her needle. Over the past 2 weeks we have seen the whole piece lovingly recreated. What a thrill to see the first bits of the familiar scene take shape under Amma's hands. And wonder as the whole beautiful ensemble was recreated. Stitch by stitch. Every one of them.

We now have a beautiful copy that is in Amma' bags as they travel back to Vishakapatnam after their month with us. What talent!
