Leslee Nelson INSPIRING WOMEN – AUNT MAE

 Leslee Nelson

INSPIRING WOMEN – AUNT MAE

Materials: Vintage hanky, embroidery floss

 

Starting when I was 10 I got to visit my Aunt Mae in Racine 

for a week each summer.  We would bake cookies and 

she taught me to sew with her treadle sewing machine. 


There was a huge section of Lilies of the Valley next to 

her house. She crocheted tiny high heels with variegated 

thread in a lace pattern. She wore colorful fake pearl 

necklaces with matching earrings for dress up.
