This month's theme is to Craft a Favourite Memory. I have so many great memories, but wiull always be grateful to have a Mum that had the patience to teach a young child to firstly embroider with cross stitch and then onto more intricate stitches and finally a sewing machine (treadle at first).
I was an only child for a number of years and I suppose I showed an interest in what she was doing and Mum found the time to teach me a craft that can never be wasted from darning a song, to making a frock, embroider ing and smocking frocks for my daughter, making clothes for my son, daughter and myself, dolls clothes etc. The list is endless. Thanks Mum.
