My mom taught me to sew. At the time, I probably didn't appreciate her efforts but now, I do. She passed away when I was in my teens and consequently I have been able to hold on to only a few of her things. One is her old red tomato pin cushion.
So today, I am breaking in a new pin cushion, also an old fashioned tomato style. I hope to get many years of enjoyment from it's use and maybe someday, when I'm old my girls will see it and think of me.
