A tribute to my Grandmother

My grandmother was well known for her cherry pies. There was something special about her pie crusts. I tried to learn her technique one time but struggled with her measurement methods. She just knew that it was a handful of this and “about” this much of that.

She was also known for her beautiful crochet and needle work. She made very beautiful lace for pillow cases and table skirts.

I spent a week at my grandparent’s home every summer when I was is grade school. During those visits she would teach me embroidery stitches. She untangled many knots from my thread during that time. I will always cherish those memories.
