1st Post

This is my first post.  I am Beth Ann, GG's granddaughter.  When my son was born, she started calling herself GG so that he wouldn't get her confused with any other "grandma".  It stuck right away...she was pretty powerful when she wanted to be...and even my aunt, cousins, and parents started calling her GG.  It was the perfect name for her...cheery, funny, sassy, and different.
I want to write about my GG, her life, her love of all things fiber (the needlebug), and her wisdom. My memories, stories about her life, stories from others who were lucky to have their lives touched by her, her humor, and of course some patterns!!!!!
She wrote to me every week.  It started when I gave her a page a day calendar.  She said she didn't want me to miss any of the days quotes or artwork, so she turned it over and wrote what she did that day...every day.  At the end of the week she put it in the mail.  I kept all of them.  It has been around 15 years!
I am lucky enough to have some of her "chicken scratch" notes about patterns, her own pattern designs, and samples to go through.
All this, and of course the gossip about "ol Rube".
I miss my GG.
