Our Heritage
Mazie B. Venable was a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on her loved ones and the community of Eugene, Oregon, and was ultimately the inspiration for Mazie B Fiber Arts. Our Founder, Diane Grayson, recounts the following:
"As Mazie's granddaughter, I had the privilege of witnessing her creativity and generosity firsthand.
Known affectionately as Grandma Mazie, she embodied love and craftsmanship. Her passion for creating beauty with her hands knew no bounds. The scent of freshly baked cookies and candies wafting from her kitchen during the Christmas season is a memory I hold dear. Those delectable treats, impeccably packaged in gorgeous wrapping, were a testament to her love and attention to detail.
But Grandma Mazie's talents extended far beyond the kitchen. Her flower gardens were a riot of colors and fragrances, a true labor of love that she tended to with care and dedication. Her needlework was simply unmatched, with every stitch and pattern reflecting her skill and artistry. It was a joy to watch her fingers fly across the fabric, creating beautiful pieces that would be cherished for generations.
One of Grandma Mazie's most treasured legacies was her love for sewing and dressmaking. She crafted her own clothes with precision and grace and passed down her skills to my mother, who, in turn, shared her knowledge with me. Every new school year brought a sense of eager anticipation as we awaited the arrival of the hand-sewn dresses from Grandma Mazie and Mom. Each dress was a work of art, a labor of love that carried the essence of family, tradition, and creativity.
This spirit of love, craftsmanship, and tradition inspired the creation of Mazie B - a company dedicated to honoring Grandma Mazie's legacy and sharing her passion with the world. The "B" in Mazie B serves as a tribute to her name, a beacon of light that guides us as we continue her legacy of creating beauty with our hands and hearts.
Whenever you see the name Mazie B, know that it carries with it a legacy of love, creativity, and tradition born from the warm embrace of a remarkable woman who touched the lives of all who knew her. Grandma Mazie's spirit lives on in every stitch, every creation, and every act of kindness that we undertake, reminding us of the power of love and the beauty of handmade craftsmanship."
