Grandmother’s Hope
Chest
is a book designed to both
entertain a young girl and teach her to sew by hand.
As Grandmother and Lucie go
through the hope chest together, they come across a special item
that becomes a project for Lucie to recreate. Following the
story of Lucie and her Grandmother, the reader will learn
simple, basic stitches and complete an easy, useful potholder,
embroidered with the picture of a “running rooster” to use today
or place in a hope chest for her future home.
This book is written with
young children in mind or for the beginning seamstress, and
includes simple directions and helpful diagrams that will make
learning easier. A perfect memory-building project for mothers
and daughters to do together and an ideal introduction into the
rewarding world of hand-sewing.
