I've decided that after I finish the Timberline Santa set, that I'll do ornaments honoring my grandparents. This one will be for my maternal grandmother: Alice Koenig Castor 1883-1966). Her family emigrated from Germany before her birth, came through Ellis Island and after a brief stop in Pennsylvania with relatives, claimed land and homesteaded in Dickenson County, Kansas where she was born. She was born in a sod house and ended up seeing people in space!
She taught me how to embroider, quilt and sew. My Featherweight sewing machine was originally hers.
