You made a nice little sampler there. I felt the same way about knitting. My mother taught me when I was quite young, but didn't pick it up again until I was in my 40s. But I think of her often when I am knitting these days. <br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-31759557225787012392017-03-01T09:12:42.328-08:002017-03-01T09:12:42.328-08:00If I did live closer I would try and become a memb...If I did live closer I would try and become a member of your knit and crochet group . . .

Thank you so much. I'm hoping to have time to sew before Easter. I've started a "clean-out" project that I should share, but it's almost embarrassing! Too much stuff in our basement! Anyway, THANK YOU so much! Wait...I said that already! I really mean it though! And you are a beautiful embroiderer! You could make little pillows out of those sample stitches. I was thinking, "she can even make a sample look cute!" I'm not so good at it, but maybe with practice.

I taught our daughter when she was small . . . it was so much fun and she made a pair of PJ's with elastic waist and peasant top with elastic neck and cuffs. It was a simple pattern but she was so proud of them. Then she put it all away and forgot about sewing. After about twenty-five years or so, she started back and now it is something that she is teaching her daughters. Sewing skills are a wonderful way to connect and have lovely one on one time with a child. Time spend with children is time well invested.

I am enjoying some sunshine here in IN some of these days. Love it! Have the cold frame up, and a small self watered bed on wheels out and want to get a 4x4 bed on legs yet.
