| Fringed napkin like Irene and Mother were working on* |
*I found this tutorial on how to fringe linen napkins. Above image from Molly's Sketchbook on The Purl Bee as linked.
Oooo- I used to fringe napkins like this with my grandmother. My Grandpa's sister used to do this as well and had some that my mum had embroidered for her when she was a little girl. I still use the technique in crafting now. Still addicted. Thanks for posting! Hugs from Shroo:)x
ReplyDeleteCool! I didn't realize what Irene was talking about until I Googled it & found this tutorial & some images. That was when light dawned & I realized I had seen this done before. LOL

ReplyDeleteTisha, what illness does Irene's Mom suffer from? When she say's cleaned, does she mean washed her hair?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure in this case. If Irene "washed" Mother's hair she generally uses some form of that verb. It's possible she was checking for lice, or something, or just washing her hair.
DeleteWe aren't sure what was wrong with Mother, it could have been dementia.
I've never heard of a corn house before.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a separate outbuilding where the corn feed for the chickens was stored. They had a separate one for grain too.
