Mary remin...Thanks for sharing this story, Melissa. Mary reminds me of my mother who influenced me to become a quilter. I remember my mother had a treadle sewing machine. She was a home economics teacher and excellent seamstress. She sewed a lot of our family's clothes when I was young. When I left home, I was determined to be a professional career woman, work in an office, etc. But that home ec education really rubbed off on me and never went away. Now that I've retired after a 30-year career, I spend as much time as possible quilting. And guess what? The tables have turned. Now my mother commissions quilts from me for friends and relatives who have helped her after my father passed away.

I find it fascinating that this woman wrote so many books! So amazing!!Dondi Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079813926759606490noreply@blogger.com
