It's wonderful to share my Grandmother Laura with all of you.
She was a "Piece Worker" and a "Peace Worker." In the factories of Beacon, New York (it was a textile and hat producing town) she made felt hats, rubber rafts in WW11, and everything else that came down the assembly line. My memories are filled with hours and hours of learning to sew with her. Me, I sat on the floor next to her so she could follow my hand sewing progress. I had to over if it wasn't right, learning patience and staying with something from start to finish! She always had time for me. Poodle skirts came into vogue and she loved them! I didn't, but I had two of the best! Someimes I would wake up and there would be new matching outfits for me and my "Victoria Doll." Very Sweet memories.
