My grandma, Florrie Thomas Martin
My grandma, Florrie Thomas Martin, was a multi-talented lady.
She spread herself around to her children and grandchildren by passing along items she’d crocheted, quilted or embroidered.
Crocheted poodle. Grandma made and sold many of these.
Embroidered table decoration.
A quilt top made by my grandma.
Grandma in the middle with the tablecloth she crocheted for her church.
She shared with those outside of the family, too. Grandma crocheted a tablecloth for her church’s new fellowship hall, a tablecloth to be used for weddings and such. My wedding reception was in that church’s fellowship hall, and my grandma’s tablecloth was on the table where my wedding cake sat.

That’s a pretty quilt, Nancy! I love quilts and handmade items. Sewing is a favorite hobby of mine too.
Thanks for replying, Laura. Soon that quilt top will be a completed quilt. I can’t wait to use it! Do you sew quilts?
I have made a few! I really enjoy working with the small pieces, like squares or triangles. I’ve been missing my sewing projects and really need to pull them out soon.
Maybe you can find the time over the winter. That is if you are in a cold climate where venturing out in winter is only done out of necessity. 😉
