Hi,
Recently on a tatting group on Facebook the news about Val Dempster, she is a tatter who originally comes from Zimbabwe and is near the end struggling with cancer. Appently Val would send a Purple Heart to her friends who were unwell or going through a rough patch.
I have tatted and sent this heat to her as the request on Facebook was for tatters to send her a Purple Heart. I used lizbeth thread no 20 in Purple using the Butterfly Heart pattern by Irene Woo.
Purple Hearts was awarded for Strength and courage in the face of adversity, very well deserved and acknowledged.
If anyone wants to send a Purple Heart I have her address, just email me and I will forward it to you.
Margaret
Update I heard this afternoon that she has since died.
That’s a lovely gesture, I’m glad that Val who gave hearts is now receiving them.
