More Maggie and her talents

 Mama Atwood's house was on one of the 2 main streets in Comanche, at 415 West Grand Avenue.

It was made of cypress wood and was never painted which made it a beautiful silvery gray color. She was always talking about having it painted. But never did. 

She is shown here standing on the west side of her house about 1951.



She was very expert and any kind of crochet, embroidery and tatting.  She won ribbons for her quilts and for her needlework.  Both at the State Fair of Texas and at the Cotton Exposition in Waco.
