I loved this whole post so much. That photo of you and Mawmaw sewing at the kitchen table is glorious. And I'm like you--I have to take a bit of stitching or knitting with me when I travel. I'm actually off to your side of the pond in just a few minutes!
Thanks for sharing these lovely reflections, Jeni! One of my most precious childhood memories is watching my Mammaw make me a dress. I stood next to her at her blocky Singer machine and was fascinated. The dress was white with red polka dots and I absolutely loved it! Mom finally had to give it to a younger cousin on the sly because I kept trying to wear it long after it was too small for me.

Happy Birthday Mawmaw! You sure raised a good one! Loved it all Jeni! The picture of you two sewing, perfect! Harmonies were sweet.
