Wonderful memories! We got our patterns and fabric at Sears, because that was where my Mom worked and we got a discount. I miss going to Sears in the old days and being able to buy yard goods, caramel corn, shoes, appliances, hardware, underwear, tires, gasoline...Remember the ads: "Sears has everything!"?

Hello @fiberfrau. Good to hear from you. How have you veen? I've been babysitting my granddaughter since her school district shut down. And trying to be online. Have to share the computer with her for her lessons.
Yep, they are wonderful memories. We went to Woolworth and Kress because we collected the Stamps, and when we filled up the card, we redeemed them for free items.
I just wish I'd taken time to learn to actually sew instead of just threadin the needles and sewing machine. Don't have to worry about me joining needleworkmonday's, LoL.
Take care.
And stamps! I remember being recruited to paste stamps in the books and then looking at the catalog of what we could get when we collected enough! Youngsters will never know the suspense, the anticipation...
I have been knitting and trying to help my students finish their math by email, video, and text message. Also doing a lot more cooking than I would prefer. Growing up, I was always sewing, my sister Lorie cooked, Robin cleaned, and Gina drew and painted. We can each do the other things if we must, but we seemed to find our favorite tasks early in life.
