It makes me smile even to see binding tape for 10 cents! I like old patterns that were 25 cents to a dollar, especially little girls, dog, and novelties. But embrodiery patterns always steal my heart. I enjoy things from anywhere, my family or others, that reflect how much they mattered to another woman that she would treasure them and take care of them or they would not still be here. My grandmothers and mother were very poor in the Southern USA and handwork was so important to them. I wanted to be good at it just like them, but I have so far to go!
