IT’S ALL ABOUT... A Nimble Thimble

Lemoine, pronounced like Des Moines, but with an “L”, was my mom who constantly kept her hands busy with sewing, quilting, crocheting, embroidering or some type of “arty” project at all times. You would never catch her with idle hands. She tried her darndest to put those sewing jobs in my hands her entire life, but to no avail. My motto was consistently, “when I’m 99 and need something to do, I’ll take up a hobby!” Nevertheless, she maintained a thimble on that finger and turned out creative beautiful pieces of work for more than 90 years. Quilting was one of her favorite past times and since her name was Lemoine, probably the Le Moyne Star was her favorite pattern for pillows and large quilts.
