I found this image while cleaning out my childhood home. I knew it existed, but hadn’t seen it in many years. It was such a exciting moment when it resurfaced. And, had special meaning for me since I have been become so involved in the photography of quilts. My mother made my dress on her new Singer, she was a self taught seamstress, and loved making dresses for special occasions. My father dabbled in photography, both developing  and printing negatives from his Yashica camera. To me this validates my journey in Quilting and Photography, and made me think the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
