I am a grandmother and stay-at-home wife.  I love, love, love sewing;

especially for my grandchildren - actually, I do embroidery by hand,

smocking and handsewing - love the heirloom patterns for little

girls and often make monogramed pillowcases as gifts from my

hands.........Never did learn machine embroidery.  I have 5 grown

daughters,  fish tanks, two dogs, and a cat (the King).  Especially

enjoy getting sewing tips - game for shortcuts and quick fixes.

My best friends are my girls.  My hobby is definitely sewing -

trying new techniques - having fun right now making the cutest

pinafore with whipped rickrack;  embroidery, and rickrack daises....

Makes my heart swell when I see my granddaughters in my

outfits.  Would enjoy hearing from others and exchanging ideas.
