Helen Rex Frazier. March 31, 1913 - June 26, 1982.

Helen did these beautiful needle point red roses in about 1970. When she passed away in 1982, her daughter, Susan, hung them in her home in Bethesda, Maryland. After Susan passed away in 2006, I brought them home, where they hang in my dining room.

Helen Melvina (Mellie) Groesbeck Morgan, February 6, 1852 to June 15, 1930.

Helen loved and admired her grandmother, Helen Melvina (Mellie) Groesbeck Morgan. Mellie's handwork is acclaimed and preserved by her descendants. Granddaughter, Helen, was drawn to red roses as was her grandmother.

Gifts from Mellie to her sons were beautiful embroidered red roses, treasured and displayed by her descendants today. They are posted on this blog here and here.
