I got my "Memorial Jacket" done, just in time to wear to Grandma Helen's calling hours last week. While I was sewing, memories of her flitted through my mind....the ball fringe curtains, the cut-pile green carpeting, her hobnail milk glass collection, the smell of dill. When it was all done, though, I was filled with joy. I love the way it looks, the way it feels to wear, and the memories it evokes. I shared it with my guild last Tuesday night, and I was surprised at how many folks understood. It really is a happy jacket...I mean, how sad can you be, wearing ball fringe????? Pics to come.....
