I need to remember both quotes...to continue to practice to perfect techniques; and to use my treasures now, rather than hoard them for someone to use later.<br />xo<br />DonnaBrynwood Needleworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025334306730418679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-8953670113436691512013-06-11T20:21:37.890-05:002013-06-11T20:21:37.890-05:00I loved all your comments, thank you.

She wore it out. If it wasn't on her back, it was because it was in the laundry. I still have the dress...but my heart feels glad that she so loved the jacket so much that she really wore it out. I bet our grandmas would be happy if we wire out their pillowcases, too.Grandma Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212842505877064035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-17206509824850188902013-06-08T17:52:16.834-05:002013-06-08T17:52:16.834-05:00It's so true, I've been going through my s...It's so true, I've been going through my sewing things after a room rearrangement and I found my first smocking sampler from when I learnt 17 years ago. I was so pleased to find it because I can see how far I've come since those first awkward stitches and slightly crooked bullion roses. I'm sure I've sewn 10000 stitches or more since then. I love finding vintage embrioderys and those ones are especially pretty and photographed very nicely too.Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166944039507301057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262518710925242693.post-31413396186243682752013-06-08T12:01:09.005-05:002013-06-08T12:01:09.005-05:00You are so right.

It's hidden away in a box in the top of my closet, but I can't enjoy its beauty or think of my grandmother making it when it's hidden away. I need to get it out and use it and enjoy it.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021958528271756631noreply@blogger.com
