Such pretty fabrics but you are able to put the whole thing together beautifully.<br /><br />Anything to do with sewing & knitting reminds me of Nanna & my Mam. They were great sewers. They both taught me to sew in the days before the telly. Used to spend a lot of time with my Nanna & we sewed & knitted together for hours at night. A great gift they passed on to me. <br /><br />I've passed it on to one of my granddaughters who lives near, I spend quite a lot of time with her. She loves to make anything & she has more of an artist's eye like you Jenny.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-36075493300169768092015-05-13T00:00:37.341+10:002015-05-13T00:00:37.341+10:00Beautiful.

I love your your love of your Nana pours fourth into these beautiful creations....I know she is looking down on your and thinking how proud she is of you. I love to think of the memories of when I was little growing up and having big family dinners at my Mamie's house with all the aunts, uncles, and cousins their....What fun it was. And how I always snuck into her sewing room and just sat their looking at all the quilts on the shelves and touching all her fabrics and things.<br />Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572900779018937820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-35622241749829733812015-05-11T00:45:48.459+10:002015-05-11T00:45:48.459+10:00I love this stitchery.

One of my favorites is a heavy green glass ashtray that I use as a thread catcher next to my sewing machine. I feel a bit guilty for having such fond memories of something associated with cigarette smoking, but it is a strong connection to my childhood.<br /><br />Cindy in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-23989831527202951652015-05-09T21:43:54.502+10:002015-05-09T21:43:54.502+10:00Oh spending summers with my Gram, in Nebraska, USA...Oh spending summers with my Gram, in Nebraska, USA a very small town where everyone knew everyone. <br /><br />We were pen-pals the rest of the year when I was back in Michigan, USA.kalliihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775328664450971999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-46481620512614114722015-05-09T19:26:47.961+10:002015-05-09T19:26:47.961+10:00Wonderful frame - makes the stitchery look perfect...Wonderful frame - makes the stitchery look perfect, totally perfect! Both my parents were smokers so one funny memory for me is if I am around someone who lights up a cigarette I am right back there in the lounge - weird.

I too, am in love with those fabrics. My dear departed Dad was a painter & paperhanger all his working life ... whenever I smell the smell of paint or turps now ... it takes me right back to Dad & how I used to stand & chatter to him for ages, while he was washing his brushes etc out in his old paint shed. I was probably high as a kite thinking back !!!!
