Yarn Along ~ books, blankets and beauty

Yesterday I took the train to Princeton!

 I worked on my many squared blanket, sewing on squares with

blue yarn... it is coming along!

 This is a beautiful book, touching, poignant and
inspiring in how one can live in very difficult times.

Fr. Dimitri and Mother Maria of Paris, with others,
were all killed during the 

Nazi period in France....
they are all considered Saints, martyrs for Christ.

The book is written by Fr. Dimitri's daughter,
who was 4 the last time she saw her father. 

Her memories of her father,
from the eyes of an adoring 4 year old daughter,

are really beautiful and Fr. Dimitri was a very kind man,
incredible in his love.  

I had a really good talk with my quilting friend about this author

 and feel more settled in accepting the struggles Hall had after Jane Kenyon died.

I am looking forward to reading this book, hopefully soon. 

I am hoping to finish this blanket in the next month, if possible.

I have so much to do, that we will see...

I went to a lovely kitchen store in Princeton, 

my kind of 'window shopping' and I love this picnic basket!

Leaving you with 2 pictures of Princeton... 

it's a very beautiful place. 

And that is my yarn along for today!

I hope this post finds whoever reads it

having a peaceful day!
