Happy Independence Day , and my grandmothers 112th birthday (she passed away age 92). This is the granny that taught me to sew when I was four years old, by hand sewing dolls clothes. Thankyou Granny Greer for gifting me this love of sewing, and all things creative. Granny was really the only grandparent I remember as all my other grandparents passed before I can remember them. My Granny was an outstanding lady, whom had a very good intellect, loved music, and a maths teacher. My Granny had a masters of mathematics, a very rare accolade for women of her generation. She was a strong capable caring lady, who raised six children and never raised her voice. I loved my Granny (except her rather musical snoring), and am thankful for the wonderful memories.
