This month my Lendrum spinning wheel celebrates a birthday - 25 years old.
Patti Lee - the original owner - wrote her name, phone number, and the date "Dec 1999" under the treadles.
I did not have an opportunity to meet Patti Lee. I purchased the wheel in July 2018, she had passed away the previous month.
She donated her fiber studio to the CCW Guild when she entered Hospice Care. Most items were given away at a Pass-It-Forward event but a few items - the Lendrum and her weaving looms - were sold by the Guild to benefit Guild Scholarships (Camperships).
I wish she knew how grateful I am to have received her beloved Lendrum Spinning Wheel.
