In my grandmothers words…”when your mom was in the hospital, I would have you in the bassinet right beside me and the sewing machine”. As I grew up, my grandmother kept me a lot as my parents were young and worked so hard to provide. I remember sitting on the floor pulling the stabilizer off the back of her designs all hours of the night being that “big helper”. At about 8 years old, I went from her sewing room to the stairs to drop her appliquéd clothes down in baskets to my grandfather to load them up for her craft shows. Sewing has been a huge part of my life and I have her to thank for it. I opened Bushel and a Peck because she would always sing that to me. She passed at the end of January 2022 from a massive heart attack. She was always the person I could go to. She was the first person to offer advice and ask how many open orders I had. I pray that I have made her proud. With each order, I pray, I send you that same love she gave to me and her customers.
