An often-seen image of me and the American flag

This is an often-seen image of me.  I look quite young in it, although I wouldn't have been young at the time I supposedly crafted the American flag.  My grandon, William Canby, told the story of my sewing this flag 100 years after it would have taken place.  I think Will may have gotten some of the details wrong.  For one thing, I rarely sewed by myself during the daylight hours.  Most of the time my children were underfoot or other customers were around.  And my floor was always a mess -- scraps of materials always lay all around me, along with the children's toys.  Why, I'd love to have been able to have sewn all by myself in a clean room on a sunny afternoon.  How tranquil that would have been!
