Sorry to be a day behind but I didn't get on yesterday. My mother was the most talented person I ever knew. She too was a wonderful seamstress. She taught me to hem dresses by the time I was about 8 yrs old. She didn't have one special thing to say but I would sit for hours beside her as she sewed inour home for people. I do not have the patience to have someone sitting beside me when I sew much less talk non-stop while sitting there. She would make 5 dresses a day including cutting them out. She has been gone for 17 yrs. She was 60 when she died and I still miss her. She was always proud of me and I was always proud of her. Suzette
