I JUST LOVE CHOCOLATE BOX IMAGERY

No, of course I don’t.

But I make one exception: for a piece of needlepoint Grandma Sallie made for me, a while ago, say, in 1962. She had just lost sight in one eye from a diabetic stroke–was worried she wouldn’t be able to sew for much longer. She wound up living until 1989, and continued making things like fabric cushions at least through the 1970s. But I don’t remember any needlepoint by then.

On the wall I’ve got her petit point framed, a Harlequin vignette featuring a Fauntleroy-like dude wooing a belle with big old mouse-ear bows in her hair. Did she make the pattern herself? She’s signed her initials in embroidery and the year.
