She also does ribbon embroidery, and knitting.
Oh ya, and weaving. She has several weaving looms in the house, and one that she uses at a hall, which is HUGE for making bed sized woven covers. So, she usually has rugs, runners, placemats, dish cloths, dish towels, and bed covers all woven to enter into these fairs, and not that many people are running in the same catrgories for that, it's kind of a lost art. Or an old lady art, my mother is only 50.




Thanks for all the comments, everyone! I'm excited but nervous too!
