Why oh why couldn't my dear late Mother in law have left me books on quilting and redwork instead of the hundreds of Annie's Attics (crochet)??

Maybe she wanted you to crochet. lol

My MIL knew nothing about sewing. Her Mother did all her mending (and that of her family) right up til she was 94 when health and vision changed her life all too much. Grandma was such a sweethear! I loved her to bits. As for MILK? .... won't go there! :)

my dear mil didn't sew at all. she left me her cat, her dog and her 15 year old son to finish raising. how I miss her!

my MIL crochets too!!!

Just had to tell you that in one of my favorite pictures of my cat she is in the sink like yours!
