Here is the progress I have made on Farm House.

February, 1946. World War Two is over, but the recovery from the most intimate of its horrors has only just begun for Annaliese Lange, a German ballerina desperate to escape her past, and Simone Deveraux, the wronged daughter of a French Résistance spy.
Now the two women are joining hundreds of other European war brides aboard the renowned RMS Queen Mary to cross the Atlantic and be reunited with their American husbands. Their new lives in the United States brightly beckon until their tightly-held secrets are laid bare in their shared stateroom. When the voyage ends at New York Harbor, only one of them will disembark...
Present day. Facing a crossroads in her own life, Brette Caslake visits the famously haunted Queen Mary at the request of an old friend. What she finds will set her on a course to solve a seventy-year-old tragedy that will draw her into the heartaches and triumphs of the courageous war brides—and will ultimately lead her to reconsider what she has to sacrifice to achieve her own deepest longings.
If your Dad is still living I hope you are able to be with him for Father's Day this Sunday. I am going to stop by my Dad's grave with some flowers.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! I am so blessed to have friends like YOU! Have a wonderful weekend!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

This is a gorgeous shawl Vickie! What a sweet thing for Barb to do. We have a prayer quilt that was given to us but I have never seen a prayer shawl but love it so much.

Just looking at the pics of your shawl you can feel the love that went into it. Absolutely gorgeous! So happy for you, and what a caring friend you have. Blessings................
Vickie needs the prayers and I'm glad I could offer some comfort to her. I thank all the ladies for their kind words about the shawl.
Hugs
What a treasure your gift from Barbara is, Vickie! That shawl is so delicate and pretty in the pink and cream :)
Today was hard for me, too, Vickie, without my dad. It seems so strange not to be buying Father's Day cards or gifts any longer... Hope you made it to your dad's grave--I'm hoping to get up to my father's in NY this coming weekend.
What a gorgeous shawl from Barb! Just perfect for you.
Sorry to hear your Dad is no longer with us. I hope Father's Day wasn't too hard.
So beautiful shawl!
Lovely progress.
