Rose’s winning answer to “Who is your crafting hero?” was…

“My Grandmother. Born and raised in the Great Depression, this woman is more creative than anyone I know – she knits, she crochets, she paints, and she even quilts from old clothes and fabrics. To say the least, in her 80 years of life,my grandmother has inspired her 3 sons (one of which is my dad) into learning to sew and quilt; encouraged all of her 5 granddaughters to learn at least one of the many crafts she does; and has now started on her 3 great grandchildren.

Most amazingly, my grandmother was the one who noticed that I couldn’t sit still in church and was wise enough to put a crochet hook in my hands and get me to see what I could create on my own. From there, I learned to crochet, then draw, paint, and craft. To this day, as a family (even the men) we’re constantly talking about our handcrafts and how we can improve on them. Every year, we trade names and look forward to handmade gifts from one another. They’re cherished above all others. She is an amazing woman, and I’m proud to call her my grandma!”
