Sending "Happy Birthday" wishes out into the universe today to my Aunt Donna in Iowa who first taught me how to sew. Here is a photo of her holding my father at their childhood home which is also, incidentally now the site of my childhood home.
I have no idea how old I was, likely 6 or 7 but we sat in the back room of her house and made a purple fleece house coat which was something like a robe with a turleneck that you put on over head. Killer.
I am forever grateful to all the women in my life who have taught me how to sew and stitch and knit and crochet and quilt and craft. Thank you Mom, Aunt Donna, Aunt Annette, Aunt Pam, Aunt Colleen, Donna Lincoln and Grandma and to all the other ladies along the way who taught me when I was little and continue to support me today.
Read of your success in today's Pioneer Press.
Your a great inspiration.
