I must still add more photos of Ethel's art work.

If YOU have originals, prints and photos of Ethel's many creations and gifts, 

please do forward to me.  - Joy

When cousin Larry Hample had children (twins) I felt it was important for me to share needlework that Grandma Ethel had made for my child, her first great-granddaughter. With Chesed, I gifted the art work to Larry and his family, and only regret that I don't have photos of them to add to this site. 

Larry, if you have photos of Grandma's art, please send to me.  - Joy

Here is one of the most precious treasures that I inherited from my beloved Grandma,
