Hopefully we have all learned something from our mothers or grandmothers- wether it’s how to bake, sew, paint, knit, or even use a screw gun. The passing down of a craft from one generation to another is a gift. My grandmother a farmers wife taught my mom to sew and my mother taught me. As a child sewing and creating became an outlet for me. I loved the endless possibilities. I went to college for fashion design and had a career designing clothes for children- Thanks Grandma Peggy!
