Rachel is a quilter. She's 97 & tells my boyfriend's mother - tell that girl to hurry up and come see me. When she quilts she jokes - who will take over her quilts if she's not around long enough to finish.
I haven't met her yet but Rachel is a crafting hero of mine. Yesterday I was thinking about my unfinished projects, a frenchie, skirt and quilt all in the last phases & then I imagined Rachel would probably say "Girl, just finish it" So I did finish the skirt and frenchie. Sometimes you have to find your own crafting heroes (and invent them if you don't know them too well).
When she was growing up, her family made everything themselves. These days she sells welder's caps - they're quick to sew so she profits. I saw one last time I visited Hamburg, Al & they're like a wool bike messenger cap I've seen before but they're made from cotton.
