Peg Michel BASKET OF MEMORIES

BASKET OF MEMORIES

Materials: Vintage crocheted bag and other crocheted, tatted and sewn items made by family members.

 

While I learned to sew garments from Mrs. Tull in junior high, 

I learned to love doing handwork much earlier from my 

grandmother. Among other things, she taught me to make 

shade pulls and sachets, like the ones on this basket. I have

 also been inspired by works of my mother, great-

grandmother, great aunts, and mother-in-law. Many of their 

finished and unfinished projects are in my closet as well as on

 this basket.
