Fabric

Jason's grandmother used to quilt A LOT. Her health has recently taken a turn for the worst and Jason's aunt that lives about an hour from us cleaned out Nanny's fabric stash. I have now inherited the above. If you see any of if that you could use to make EGF stuff, please let me know. I'll GLADLY share.

Here are a few quilts that Aunt Grayce made for EGF out of some of Nanny's fabric, and some that she already had. Aunt Grayce has an AWESOME sewing room set up in her basement with a wall full of color-coated fabric.

Pillowcase Dresses

My love of sewing came from my grandmother. A couple of months ago, my Mom found a set of beautiful old pillowcases in the attic. I told her that I had some Nana's Heirloom Soak that I bought at a specialty fabric store in Houston when I was smocking a lot. It did a GREAT job at cleaning the old pillowcases.

....and my Grandmother did a GREAT job of making her great-granddaughters pillowcase dresses!

4th Annual Remembering Emma Grace Donation Drive

Obviously, life took a big turn several weeks ago with Hannah's diagnosis of Friedreich's Ataxia. Thus, I'm late kicking off the annual donation drive. I've received several inquiries about whether I would continue EGF. The answer is YES.....as long as I can. I briefly considered whether I could handle everything (and it may change as Hannah's disease progresses) but then I received 3 phone calls/emails for assistance in a couple days. So, I took it as a sign to keep on keeping on as long as possible.
