Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just posted about a WWII picture book on that thread, but thought it was worth copying the description of one of the books here for all you hand crafting ladies. It really is worth taking a look at this book for the fabric art.

Memories of Survival by Esther Nisenthal Krinitz and Bernice Steinhardt - This book is AMAZING! The illustrations are hand sewn panels done in stitchery, yarn, and fabric by the woman who lived through the holocaust in Poland. The authors are the Polish survivor and her daughter. This book also describes the horrors of the holocaust, with concentration camps, mistreatment of Polish Jews, hiding in fear, and the death of the author's family at the hand of the Nazis. But it's done with a page for each illustrated sewn panel and accompanying text and explanation. It will be unsettling reading, but I think this will be a good book to use to touch on horrors of the holocaust. You have to see these illustrations/panels!
