I am a retired public library director and can highly see my way through books that this heartwarming story could have been written to include.
If you enjoy reading and are interested, go to your public library and check out the Elm Creek Quilt series written by Jennifer Chiaverini. It takes you back to those days, as does your story, that give you the inspiration to go on.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Oh, there are many more stories yet to come. Early on, I wrote almost daily from my memories. Now, I add to the stories with the trials and tribulations of my current quilting experience. Stay tuned.

Grannies are God's gift to little girls (boys too). Thanks so much for sharing the story and reminding me of my Grandma too!

Sounds like the opening of your next book. You write beautifully and in a way to draw us all into the moment with you. Precious memories.

What a beautiful story! You were so lucky and blessed to come up in a time like that. I remember my granny and her old wood burning stove and biscuits as big as cats heads always in the warming oven.....miss those days.

That is a great story. Brings back alot of memories. But I thought how many wondered why you would have to wait for the stove to be hot to iron? I remember Grandma using an iron off the stove and saving the wax paper from the bread sacks to slick up the iron. I am getting old. Thanks for the memories.
