Stitching seasons


 Because my mom and great grandmother were seamstresses, I had to stitch this. 

Lenore Halbrooke my great grandmother owned a dress makers shop in green Bay. She sewed my mother's wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses.

My mother sewed a ball gown for me for Jr prom, and many dresses for my sister for her dances. She also sewed my sister's wedding dress.


This is Mirabilla Cross-stitch
