Welcome to a new place to share.

Post by nonie »

Being the owner of this forum for so many years, has allowed me to make some very, very good friends. So i would like to open this new spot with a super blast from the past. Now, I know this will bring back many memories for all of us.
Betty, was not only a friend to all of us, she could sew and design like the master she was. I know we all miss her and the dresses she sewed. So here is her great grand daughter modeling a pattern variation that was on our opening page for a very long time:

I’m so glad to hear they kept that sewing table. Betty was so proud of it!

What a sweet dress and baby! I know Betty would be so happy to know her DGD is using her table and machines. What a great legacy!

How nice to see this picture again! I know that Betty would love that her love of sewing has been passed down and her sewing machine is being used!!!

Sweet, sweet, “talented” Betty! I was one of the fortunate few that had the privilege of meeting her. We were traveling in our RV, and stayed close to her for several days. Spent a whole day, part of which she demonstrated many things she did. I’ve lost all my pictures, or I’d certainly be sending them to Nonie to post for me. Karen P

I do have one picture of betty and friend. I was trying to find the one that Karen mentioned of Betty and the ugly dress contest we had.
I am not sure who her friend is,

I think Shirley also has a picture of her with Betty.
