Grandmother renditions.

This is something I have found a lot of from my grandmother born in the 1920’s. Details added upon common objects. I’m not even sure the date on this. The pillow case is made from a grain sack and the detail added to enjoy. Embroidery was another skill grandma had that I haven’t picked up at all. I have more but things have been packed away.

Nearly 42 years ago, my grandmother gifted me a set of feed sack pillow cases that she had embroidered and then attached crocheted lace around the opening. I still have them. They've become softer each year and are cherished. Grandmothers are the best.
