Cute Nightgown

I simply can't explain what I feel in my heart for my 

late maternal grandmother. 

She is the reason I sew, the reason I upholster, 

and the reason for a lot of other things. 

That being said, she was a professional and a perfectionist  

and I am trying to be more like her every day.

She sewed more in the last days of her life than I could possibly get to in a lifetime and 

people simply loved her stuff. 

There are a few coveted patterns around the family 

and while I would never want to take her place, 

I'd love to be able to re-create some of the amazing things that she made for me, 

my sisters 

 and my cousins 

when we were kids. 

This is totally my grandma. 

I'm glad my little girl seems to love hers as much as I loved mine when I was a kid. 

I still remember feeling like a princess every single night.
