I've been working on several projects this week, but I'm not far enough along on any of them to share them this week. However, I do want to share a very precious sight at my dining room table this past week.
My oldest daughter is helping a very dear friend of hers make some pretty throw pillows to accent her new bedspread. The pillow they are working on here is a square pillow with a shirred border and piping. Between the shirred border, A*** will embroider a rose bouquet. It should be beautiful when they finish. They plan to make several different styles of pillows, and I'll be sure to let you see the finished items.
I think I enjoy seeing my dining room table being used for sewing projects more than for eating. It has been the site of many a sewing lessons. I taught my daughter to sew when she was very young. Several years ago, I was able to teach her friend and her friend's sister. I guess I just love sewing so much that I want others to have the same enjoyment that I do. Teaching others to sew, knit, or crochet has, also, been a wonderful way to make some precious and lasting friendships.
I encourage you to share the abilities that God has blessed you with. You never know what it may lead to.
If you would like to see some projects others have made, or if you would like to share a project of your own, be sure to click here and join the fun at SEW CRAFTY FRIDAY!
Y Blessings,

I hope you show us those pillows when the girls finish!
I did try to teach my daughter to sew, but she never really got into it. The boys never had an interest in that kind of thing, although looking back I should have made them all learn how to sew on a button.
I came across a blog the other day--can't remember which--with a picture of a boy of about ten fixing a net hamper with a needle and thread. I thought that was awesome.
Clare,
I definitely want to show you pictures when the girls are finished. I will probably show each pillow as it is completed.
I taught my younger daughter to sew some, also. She's very creative, but her true interests are not in sewing. She says it takes to long. :)
Lovely I hope we get to see the finished projects. I am currenly doing a major re-vamp on my kitchen/dining area to be, so my table is currently stored away. can't wait till everything is sorted so I can cook and sew to my hearts content. See you soon.
