I remember sewing on my grandmothers treadle when I was about 5 or 6. I made my dolly's clothes. Later when I started having the kids, made most of their clothes and today I make all of my husbands shirts. Thats easy, he likes black western with snaps. LOL My grandmother and great aunt had made a broken Lone Star. I always want to make one, but by the time I started, they had both passed and I couldn't figure out how to do it. Finally found a pattern and have been busy ever since. Made a few different tops, but always come back the the Lone Star. Besides reading to relax, I have started doing genelogy and that in itself is addictive!!! Any Wrights, Hornsbys or VanCleaves out there? LOL
