Biblical Womanhood Online ~ Encouraging and Equipping Women and Young Women for God's Glory!

Rebekah Wilson, author of The Hope Chest: A Legacy of Love, has just started producing a beautiful series which will delight your young daughters. Written specifically for girls ages 3-10, these colorfully illustrated hardback books take your daughter on a fun journey with 7-year-old Lucie as her Grandmother teaches her basic hand sewing skills. Together, Grandmother and Lucie build a family legacy of memories and special treasures which will be passed down to Lucie someday.

In the second book of the Grandmother's Hope Chest series, Lucie is sick in bed with a miserable cold. What would normally be a long and boring day turns to delight when Grandmother brings a special treat to share with Lucie... which inadvertently turns into a sewing lesson too. Lucie discovers the joy of Gingham Embroidery as she recreates a bread cloth Grandmother had stored in the hope chest. By making small "Snowflake Stitches" around all four edges of the cloth, a beautiful design is made. The Hemming Stitch is also a new stitch for Lucie to learn and this stitch allows Lucie to complete the bread cloth by hand.

These books are perfect for mothers and grandmothers wanting to instill in their daughters and granddaughters a love for hand-sewing, while at the same time teaching old-fashioned values and virtues and fostering a closer relationship. This would be a treasured gift to give to your daughter or granddaughter, one that could make a life-long impact on her.

The author has gone to great lengths to make sure the directions are simple enough so that even a mother who has no sewing experience can easily help her daughter do the projects. Though the books contain and detailed list of materials needed to complete each project, to make it easier for busy moms, the author has also put together kits with all the necessary supplies to complete the projects. The kits can be purchased separately from the book.
