Cat Embroidery
The Story Behind the Cat Embroidery
This embroidery was given to my mom from my great grandma. My mom brought this with her when she moved to Chicago from Indiana. This was made by my great grandma who was the first generation on my mom’s side of the family to be born here in America. My great grandma’s parents came to America through Ellis Island in the late 1800’s. They came from Czechoslovakia. My great grandma made this when my mom was born. My mom brought this with her when she moved to Chicago in 2003. My mom went to an art school for college in Chicago and always loved city life more than the boring small town she was from. She moved to Chicago when she met my dad who was born and raised here in Illinois.
