I'm 62 so I can also remember when stores, etc. were closed on Sunday and it was a day of rest because it was "the Lord's day." When I was 10 my mother took me with her to visit a friend of my grandmother's. The lady had a loom and made her own rugs which I found fascinating. Mom asked her if she would show me how she used the loom and the lady replied that she would show me a little bit, but not much since it was Sunday, and she didn't like to work on the Lord's day. Gee, I wonder now if she was another influence in my life that instilled a love of sewing?
