My Grandmother. She was the family seamstress, made dresses & mens shirts & used scraps to make quilts. I'd go to Roses' Five & Dime with her where they had the big tables in the middle of the room with stacks of scrap fabrics & bolts on the other side. She got teased for turning fabrics in Roses' every week when she'd come home with a couple of more big bags of fabric. She had a quilting frame set up in the bedroom & her & my Aunts would sit with their glass of iced tea & quilt for hours. They couldn't see the TV as it was in the other room, but they kept up with the Soap Operas religiously. Soon as my Grandfather came home from work, all hot & tired, she'd start in about so & so was cheating on his wife or doctor so & so. One was As The World Turns & another General Hospital. He'd hurt her feelings & she'd go in the kitchen & cry. You know how some women can be, but I loved her. She'd show me how to applique & cut out turtles & Sunbonnet Sues. Sure do miss her.
