It’s their one year anniversary!
Yes, who knew?
It’s the “Patchwork Giraffe” on John Street
With Judy Lauder and her daughter Stephanie too.
I’ve never done much sewing
Some place mats and quilts long ago
But Judy and Stephanie
With two sewing machines
Wow! Can they sew!
They do custom work
With their own patterns.
Yes, one of a kind.
Special clothes for a production
Or just something simple,
Whatever you have in mind.
The choices are really endless
They do knitting, tatting and crochet.
They even did the library mascot
The owl in the Nevada Day Parade.
Now, they do alterations
When you’re too big or too thin.
They will repair my grandmother’s afghan.
Now, surely this is a win, win!
They knit darling hats and hair wraps
And so much more.
Yes, you must come and visit.
Really, just walk through their door.
