Lesley Butterfield called the frocks 'as ugly as homemade sin' and imagined a hilarious backstory to go with her photos.
Her first memories are sewing along with her mother at age 5 with an unknotted threaded needle for practice. She made her first quilt top in third grade. “It was as ugly as homemade sin,” she said. She made a wall hanging with embroidered unicorns for her sixth-grade teacher. By the time she was in high school, Rasnake had graduated to larger items, including placemats, table runners and pot holders. A self-taught quilter, Rasnake learned from watching and seldom had to ask questions as a youngster.
Gregory says he could have moved to Southern California, where he had a couple of job offers to preach and teach, “but that would have made me look as guilty as sin. That is the stereotypical thing a preacher does when he gets in some kind of, quote, woman trouble.” So he remained a pariah (người hạ đẳng) in Fort Worth. When he went to Southwestern Seminary, his old stomping grounds, he’d hear students whispering. When he went to dinner with Lemmons, restaurant patrons would put down their forks and stare. They saw a man acting positively giggly, finally going through the adolescence (thời thanh niên) that he had never allowed himself to have.
