My sister took this picture when taking Mom to visit her older sister in the Nursing Home.....My Mom (90) and my Aunt Annie (94) precious hands....Annie's are the one painted purple...Sweet....Over the years these hands have sown their share of rips and done lots of mending...Their Mother did quilt....The girls were into crochet...At night or early morning they would take a little time for themselves with a cup of coffee, needles and yarn....Mom still has the little dress she crochet for me when I was a baby...I will have to see if she will let me have it again....:0)
Aunt Annie always has a smile on her face....the one thing I remember over the years about her is that smile....But when Mom gets ready to leave Aunt Annie always puts on her sad face...Is this sad enough can I go with you? Sad yes.... but also so sweet...when they are together... they are two little girls again...The Ol' Blogger
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
