All the women in my family sewed (including my mom, when pregnant with me) but it really wasn't something they ever shared. I picked it up on my own but then I still inherited their stashes.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449229622474314815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142910479335459830.post-40096976950686618732009-02-14T15:55:00.000-05:002009-02-14T15:55:00.000-05:00What a wonderful story.
