Sewing and Crafts

 

Proverbs 31:13 She seeketh wool, and flax,
and worketh willingly with her hands.

...19 She layeth her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff.
...21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household:
for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

...24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it;
and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
