She graduated almost instantly to projects so complicated they were well beyond my experience, but she deciphers the instructions on her own and sews meticulously and beautifully. Every time I see her working with focus and ease at the sewing machine, I get a little choked up at the generations of sewers whose shoulders she sits on. It’s must just be a part of her spiritual inheritance because she comes by it naturally. πŸ™‚ I love this post so much. Thanks for sharing these memories.

My sewing machine(s) are never put away for very long. I love to give handmade gifts to others. Thanks for your friendship and example.

Thanks for reading them. I started writing as a record for my grandchildren. I didn’t want them to revere me like we do pioneers. I think the truth is probably more useful to them.

I love the quilt monkey. That little boy had a sweet, sweet sister!

That was genius! And I love your last statement. Time nor distance doesn’t seem to interfere with love.

And I made my wedding dress and oldest daughter’s dress. What memories! One memory that stands out to me is sewing little logos on my sons’ school shirts. They went to a school that catered to very wealthy families (and us, living on school teacher’s salary). One day my son came to me (2nd grade or so) and asked me if he could get a shirt with a little alligator on it. My heart sank until I went to price them and discovered some socks of the same brand at 1/2 off. Fortunately for me, the little alligators were the same size as the ones on the shirts. VOILA! Bless my mother who taught me to sew.
As an aside, I cherish the rhythm of our friendship which has lasted several eons!πŸ₯°πŸ’›

As I read your memories, it jogs my mind to bring forth memories of my own. I will record them in my journal today. Thank you for your inspiration and friendship. I’ve loved and appreciated it and you for over 40 years!

A friend gave it to me. A couple years later, in 1958, I bought a new fancy Singer. I still have and use it. Like you, I have sewn everything girls wear and shirts for boys.
My first project was a quilt for my brother’s monkey. I was 12. He loved and cherished it.
