Good morning all - I’m headed up to the beach house today. There’s an old friend of my Grandma’s who has ‘something’ Grandma gave to her that she made when she was 15. This lady is clearing and cleaning out stuff and decided family should have this thing. Don’t know what it is!
Maybe a sewing project... hopefully it’s not a pie ;~)
Going to go meet with her and find out!
Sounds like fun! Hopefully she’ll have some good stories to tell about your Grandma too. Stuff like that is so interesting! Be sure to take a picture of it.

Here's what I'm betting, because I have something that MY grandmother made when she was SEVEN: handmade lace or embroidery.
My grandmother at age seven embroidered a border on a length of beautiful Brussels lace (the real stuff). When I made my first child's christening gown, I let the lace in to the skirt. There was JUST enough to go around the entire gown, about 6 inches about the first set of tucks.
(Yeah, I spent pretty much my entire pregnancy making the thing from a Vogue pattern . . . ARRRRGGGH! those are the most difficult patterns in the world!!!!)
just went and looked . . . the pattern is still in their catalog, 20 years later!!!!! It's really pretty, if you can handle the assembly process . . .
