Best if neither of us do.

I'd be willing to come help in any manner to get the icing off that cake server......I mean cake plate........I mean the cake!!!!

Thank you for starting this post. I couldn't sew a straight line but love to look at the pictures and read the posts. As someone once said I have all the knowledge but I can't put it to any use cause I am manually challenged.
-
Back with a question. I have several double-sized hand-embroidered sheets like bedspreads, mostly flowers. I could see parts of this as being in the centre of a quilt but most of the hand embroidered patterns are larger than 12 inches. This is all work my mother did 60 years ago. I am afraid if I don't have something done with it that someone wants to use or display, it will just rot out eventually. Any ideas. I will try to take a picture.

I would love to teach you to sew. I had hoped to be a home ec teacher in my younger years, but ExDH did not want me to continue my schooling, and I was in Love.
I have two ladies who have asked me to teach them. I might start a girls sewing night here. Heaven knows I have enough sewing machines!
-
Oh no you wouldn't LOL I drove 4 home ec teachers around the twist and a dressmaker ended up finishing up a dress and a jumper. I found out in my twenties that I am not dextrous at all. Took a test at the local employment office to find out my strengths and abilities. Was told if you couldn't already type with scores like this we wouldn't have sent you for training. Fortunately Mom sent me to the local business college and I managed to squeek past. God gave me good verbal and numerical skills and nothing else. So I read a lot.

Happy birthday Meece!
-
Thank you.
I was the assistant teach in Home ec through high school. I put up with a lot. You might be surprised OnMyOwn.
-
Hey Own! What I would do with that embroidery is make it the centre of either a medallion quilt or a wall hanging. Some things are best viewed vertically, and if the embroidery is particularily good, why not look at it as art?
-
Here's a baby afgan I crocheted before my first son was born.
-
veggy - That is so pretty - love the detail.
-
and look how it echoes the blocks Meese is making! Astonishing!
-
At first I thought it was a quilt. Very nice, veggy!
-
Beautiful work Veggy! So delicate!
-
Thank you everyone. That afgan took me almost a year to make. I have it displayed on a rack in my livingroom.
-
Well girls I have finally finished the scarfe!
-
good job Chrissy-love the color
-
Love the tassels too!! Well done!
Veggy, great job, are you hanging on to it for grandchildren? I was just able to pass back a blankie that I made for my son - back TO my son - for his son! Ah, the circle of life grinds on....
-
Chrissy - That is beautiful and I love the color. Welll done!
-
Lovely work, Crissy!
I had every good intention to work on my quilt yesterday, but I really should have known I wouldn't be able to. I really ought to put some blocks in my car to work on while DH drives me places.
-
If and when I ever do have grandchildren I would love to pass the afgans. I made another one with a heart pattern. Now I have one for each son.
-
I saved so many of the quilts and afghans I received when the boys were born. I gave many of them to DS and DIL already.
I talked with DS yesterday and asked him how the nursery was coming. He said "pretty good", and when I asked what he had left, he said the painting and wallpapering. Uh...what did he do? He assembled the crib.
I need to get the window treatment done so I can see how much more fabric I have for the other stuff.
-
little baskets . . .
-
forgot to give size: 26 x 32
Since it's spring:
10 1/2 x 9
and
same size
-
Anna, if this is another miniature, are you able to put something in the picture to show perspective? ( I don't know if others realize how small miniatures are.)
-
I gave the size. That's in inches. I guess I could put a toothbrush on the next one.
-
AnnaM, your quilt is beautiful! and the miniatures are amazing! So much work in something so small.....wow!
-
Anna - The quilt and minis are amazing - you are one very talented lady.
-
Miniatures are harder than full size, I can tell you that from experience!!!
Love the primitive look of yours, well done!
