About
The women with their needles, sewing or knitting, clothed their families, kept them warm, repaired worn holes and torn seams, and let down hems again as their children grew. They adorned their walls and furnishings while also forming deep bonds of family connection and community as they passed these necessary skills from one generation to another. Nothing was wasted.
