She really was an amazing woman. There were times when others were offended by her, she had no filter and would "tell it like it was" but I adored her and valued her opinion on many things. One of the things she taught me to make was "Storybook Pillows" as she called them. They were small pillows for children with a zippered and an open pocket for kids to keep a book and other things in. I made them for my boys when they were about 3 yrs old and they still use them 5 years later.
