Great Cousin Edith Bag

Great Cousin Edith Bag

I was at my mother's Shirle house taking out the trash. In the bottom of the basement trashcan I found this scrap of embroidered cotton with Spanish Dancers. It reminded me of the time I went to Mexico with Mari  and Juanita to a Girl Scout Camp. We had went to see a show in Mexico City featuring Spanish dancers. Someone worked hard on this little piece of Art. My mother t

old me it came from my Great Cousin Edith Bright's house and was probably sewed by her mother Mabel Bright..who was married to my Great Grandpa's Zed Bright Sr....Brother Virgil. Their picture hangs in the dining room on Pine Street. I went to my fabric stash and found some vintage curtains I had saved from Cousin Edith's house. I didn't know what I was going to do with it but now I have a idea ....

I  decide to make a rag bag using the scrap of embroidery as the center piece.

I love this bag... my I remember my Great Cousin Edith as one of the original Strawberry Divas. When she came to town with her red lipstick, powdered face, and fur coat... I was in Awe...!
