Rest In Peace Diana Thompson

[NC Scroller]

I just saw a post on Facebook from Diana’s husband, Robert. The queen of compound cutting is now making sawdust in heaven. Prayers for Robert and the rest of the family.

Maybe we should all post a picture of one of her projects we have made as a way to honor her memory.

I never did compound cutting But I still feel lost. Rest in Peace, Deepest Sorry for her family.

I did a few birds years ago and Denny got me going on them again.
I will miss her patterns, but I have her Christmas ornament book to start on.
I posted these a couple of months ago, but here they are again as a tribute to a great artist.

This is really sad news. My condolences go out to all of Diana's family and close friends.

Like Rolf I have given away more than I can count. Mostly of the cat.

Scott I will be making some of these Angels.

I made 150 of those angels during the height of COVID. My woodworking group made various small crosses and angels which were given out to nurses in area hospitals.

Diana was truly a fine pattern maker. Compound scrolling is one of my favorite things to cut. I give lessons on compound cutting and I always start with Diana's mini birdhouse. People are amazed when the little house or bird pops out.

My favorite memory is cutting child awareness angels. The local cancer support center asked if I had an ornament to make for child cancer awareness month. I used Diana's angel and with the help of some club members make over 150 for each family in our area. I have since done many painted pink for breast cancer.

We will miss her, but her patterns live on.

So sad to hear this. I loved making the bird houses.
