Quaker Sewing Roll

This is an oldie but goodie - Quaker Sewing Roll from Catherine Theron. I stitched it in 2014. This is another piece that I personalized by including initials of some of my aunts who inspired me to create at a young age. My Auntie Theresa crocheted. Auntie Betty was really an accomplished needlewoman - she did embroidery, cutwork, hand quilted and she crocheted beautiful doilies and tablecloths using fine thread. My Auntie Florence was an accomplished knitter - from mittens and slippers to sweaters and afghans. My mother crocheted, but we know her best as the Mad Tatter because she tats like a boss. So this piece was stitched as a tribute to them!



Have to share this picture of my little friend and constant companion. She’s 24 weeks old now!

See you tomorrow.
