Lteachergeorge Sorry for your loss

Rob once again "Great Work"

OKsewglad I about grands helping delete the stash, I have two great-grands that requested to learn how to sew this summer. So, I purchased another FW to be able to sew with them. So we could get at it. We're trying our hand at Barbie clothing. I'm loving their eagerness. It getting me motivated, that non-sewing thing that I was going through was the pits. Happy Sewing Everyone!!!

Nothing like passing on our passion to the next generation, cherrybsixty.

LTeachergeorge - sorry for your loss, in time you will find your new normal. Try to enjoy the new larger sewing room.

Rob - Another awesome project. I love crumb work.

Cherrybsixty - It's good you are sewing again and getting the next generation interested is outstanding.

Oksewglad - Just think soon you can gift the some of your stash to the grands. Then you will have a reason to get more fabric ?

Nothing new for me, but my sewing room is nice and clean. Thanks to having to watch my niece last weekend and the boys this weekend.

Thank you, Oksewglad and Dedemac for agreeing with me. It will be a dying artform if we don't pass it on. Out of my three bio-daughters only one sews or uses the machine. And she's what is referred to as a sewist because her profession is a medical doctor. Back in the day we were referred to as seamstress. Now it's either that or a quilter. But, the oldest g-grand wants to design and the second g-grand just want to learn how to use the machine. She is the one I am going to encourage to help me to quilt or piece. Her sister I'll continue assisting her with designing. I just so happy that I get the honor of being with them and being a part of their growth process. I never got to meet my grandmothers and here I am a great-grand mother. Well I got go and dig in that stash to see what I am going to take to them to sew-up have a great weekend everyone.

My daughter learned to sew, but her daughter never saw her do it and she thought Gma had to teach her how. DD surprised the GD and she helped her make a tote for her piano books. GD going to spend some time with Gma this summer and is sending me project ideas. Planting the seed is all we need to do. Later in life they will say..."I can do that!", because some one taught them #2 DIL had a sewing mother, but I've taught her more than mom has. Now she sews Halloween costumes every year for their 3 munchkins. She may be a quilter some day, but she knows how to sew now. Yes we need to pass on the tradition!

Wow Watson, what a quilt!
Sorry for the loss. It's always hard to take, Linda.

Here is a finished UFO. I made it to use as a decorative throw on top of the day bed in the correct season,.[ATTACH=CONFIG]613641[/ATTACH]

I love your quilt, Battle Axe! It's on my bucket list too...

I've not been quilting this week. I have been sewing baby summer outfits for my two little granddaughters. Also knitted one a cute little shrug. I'm having fun dressing the babies.

Here are some completely off-topic pics... me enjoying baby time with #2.
