When Judy Harper lost her granddaughter Madeline several years back , I designed this little Squiggee fairy Rollie and named her Madeline....It is a great comfort to think that Judy is now united with her soul mate.....and they are filling heaven with rolling laughter ....Judy will be missed , but will always be a part of Squiggeeland.....her energy and knowledge I found a great help early on...and I don't think I will ever be able to tie a bead on a canvas without thinking of her....I have a wonderful heart she worked for me to treasure and of course the models she did for Squiggee Designs...they will always be treasured and remind me of my dear friend and fellow artist ...gone but never forgotten...she was a Cancer like myself and she shared my love of jewelry and all that sparkles..you can read Judy's Obituary by logging on to Tributes.com/obituary...
I learned this morning that my friend and colleague Judy Harper is in the hospital and very ill.......for years Judy has been fighting ill health, and has been able to work and stitch with such joyJudy and I have often joked about how we are the old girls of the trade...she and I have been painting needlepoint forever ...me since the early 70's and her even longer....between us we could fill an ocean with canvases....she has been a great help with my early attempts at stitching with all the new fibers and beads.....until my Squiggee days ,I hadn't worked with anything but wool....her advice was so appreciated as her encouragement to wholesale Squiggee.... even so far as to work my first model...the Peacock Rollie....she has been a constant fan and cheer leader for my new endeavor.......It was Judy that said I needed a blog so people would get to know the artist....she was right and so helpful with the start up....we here in Squiggeeland send all our love for her recovery.......after all we don't have that many old girls with such a wealth of needlepoint under their belts in this business...kisses and hugs to Judy...love, squiggee
