My Early Sewing Accomplishment
Craig as a baby
Craig as a young man
These pictures are of my cousin, Craig O'Dea. He is my aunt Ruby Mae, my Dad's sister's boy.
When I knew that my aunt Ruby Mae was going to have a baby I immediately started planning a baby quilt. I saved all the colors and kinds of material suitable for a baby and found a pattern that I wanted to use for it. I did the whole thing by hand.
I worked on it for several months. Finally, when she had the baby, Craig, I carefully wrapped the quilt and went over to her house to deliver it.
I was so proud of that quilt. Now that I look back I am sure it was not perfectly stitched or put together exactly right but to me it was a prize!
Of course Ruby Mae acted very thrilled to get it and she immediately made this picture of the quilt with Craig on it.
Today, I never see Craig but I do think of him quite often. The last I saw him was at my Mother's 100th birthday party which has been about ten years ago.
Note: I had the earlier picture turned the wrong way. This is the correct pose.
