A new website celebrating the craft of Singlade Balls

After lots of thought, and encouragement from others, I've decided to make a website documenting those stitched balls that Grandpa made. Here is the web address:

http://singladeballs.weebly.com

Please have a look! My concern is that this is a dying folk craft, and it needs to be shared or it will disappear. I would love to get as many photos up there as possible of the balls that Grandpa made. Will you please contribute? Send me photos of the balls that you have from Grandpa, and of any balls that you have made, too!

So far I have Martha's and Ruthann's collections. (I'll make a page for mine, too, but I'm just getting started.) I'd love to get a page up for you, too! You can use a cell phone if you don't have a camera handy. I've had good results with that.

Thanks, cousins!
Kate
