I knew a lovely lady like that. She passed away this last May! She sewed everything on treadles. She raised 2 sons and a daughter who appreciated everything she did. She made all her family's clothes. Her husband was a cobbler. He died at 80 years old. He had just finished making his sons new pairs of shoes. They were attorneys and also the daughter. Her daughter proudly keeps her wedding dress made by her mother, refurbished from her own wedding (self made) dress displayed in her home.

I found a few that are available as ebooks, plus another book by the same author (Mary Brooks Picken). I also found a description from eBay for the series.
