Peggy writes: I
really enjoyed sewing with Susan (Rey) and Maggie yesterday. Sitting in
Susan's sunny livingroom, stitching and chatting, it all seemed terribly
relaxing and cozy.
The fancy tea Susan served us was perfect to end up
a pleasant afternoon.
Maggie writes: Who Suggested Stitch and Bitch?
Thanks
to SusanRey for hosting Peggy and me for another Heart Pillow-making
session. Her place is beautifully lighted, so it was easy to stitch.
(It was also fun to bitch, but that had nothing to do with the
lighting.)
The theory is: Those who can, sew. Those who can’t sew,
cut or stuff, or even weigh the stuffing. But this time, we could all
sew, so (pun intended) we were able to put the finishing touches on 16
Heart Pillows. But there are still a dozen or so (there it is again)
left to complete, and we’re planning another session in late April or
May. It’s fun, and worthwhile, and the Heart Pillows are kind of cute.
Peggy took one for a friend, and you can too, if you know someone who
has breast cancer. Peggy was intrigued by my manual sewing machine, and
took a video with my camera, but I don’t know if it will work on
Scriveners. (Editor: No, I'm sorry it does not, but I am sure that many of us are familiar with a manual sewing machine. I learned to sew (in my cackhanded manner) on my grandmother's Singer Sewing Machine, dated 1894. It worked really well. They don't make 'em like that any more).
