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.
