My beautiful friend Mel Dee Dzelde passed away this morning. I have never known anyone with such strength, kindness, and love that fought all that was thrown at her.
Chris Dzelde I’m heartbroken for you and the family. I will miss you, Mel. We had some great conversations. There’s a photo of Mel wears the headband and cardigan I made for her. She’s holding her book too!
Also, when I designed a range of zip pouches to help raise funds for bowel cancer Australia. This set is the one I made especially for Mel. I named the pattern Melinda in her honor. Cancer and MND suck.
