Spun

Spun is for my Nana, Ethel Kirby née Baker who grew up in East London working as a machinist, lived through war working in an ammunitions factory, had three children, has six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren…so far.

I inherited her sewing box
                                               And
                                                      In
                                                         This
                                                               Box
                  (which is now both a sewing and a memory box it seems)
                                                                     I
                                                             Have
