George i (Dorothy) Coyle, of Milford, I knew I'd have to visit with her and what an enjoyable visit it was. Mrs. Coyle was born in Hammond, Indianna and lived just 20 miles from Chicago. She recalls that one of the things she liked to do best as a child, was to go out in the hills picking wildflowers and picnicking. "Of course, we were great roller- skaters," she said. "Every -on skated then." "I lived in Michigan for a while and then we spent twenty years in California. We came to Milford about five years ago. We found an older house that had been vacant for four years. We remodeled it and have made it Into a beautiful, comfortable comfort-able home . Ill admit that coming to Milford was quite a change from the hustle and bustle of the city, but getting away from that traffic and smog was worth it. I am really quite a homebody now. I don't like to travel much -and when I do, I'm always glad to get home. We have wonderful neighbors and friends here and we're happy." hap-py." Mr. and Mrs. Coyle are the parents of three children, have ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. "While our children were small, I enjoyed sewing for them . I loved making doll clothes for the girls. I still love to sew. I make most of my own clothes and sew for my husband." I saw some of the beautiful beauti-ful jackets she'd made for the grandchildren. My favorite favor-ite was one of quilted nylon covered with shaggy fake fur a beautiful garmetl "I love to knit," she said. Everyone who attended the Fair must have seen her beautiful knit flag. "I had made a larger one for my grandson he had it hang-in hang-in g on his bedroom wall. I decided that I would make one regulation size. The hardest part was making the stars. I finally ended up making mak-ing each star in five sections and then stitching them to-I to-I gether to get the points right." "I make sweaters and af- ghans of all kinds. I like to keep busy, even while watch -ing TV. in the evenings, so I just knit away and it doesn't take long just 4 or 5 evenings eve-nings to finish up a sweater. I really enjoy carving. Sev-I Sev-I eral years ago we had some ' nice pine shelving. I took a notion to do some carving on it. I did, and made it into a lovely record cabinet. George makes up picture frames for me, and I do the carving on them. The frame compliments the painting, and I enjoy making them. I've carved everything some wall plaques one of an Indian chief complete with real beading. The lovely Spanish -type table in the photo was made and carved from an old, solid door. I've made many other tables. I think my favorite was an old drop-leaf type we found. We cleaned it up and I carved away on it. It turned out beautiful but we gave it away. We are antique buffs and like finding and restoring them. We have two rockers over a hundred years old, and among other things, we re-did an old organ stool we found in the corner of an attic." "I think I've tried everything," every-thing," says Mrs. Coyle. "Our' daughter, Joyce (who owns the Artnik)- and our granddaughters did these beautiful paintings on the walls," she said proudly. "I even tried my hand at painting once." (And it was lovely I told her she should keep at it.) "I do like crewel work and want to do more of that. |
