This blog have different things on here, from what is on my mind to quilting items, to sewing. But, what ever it is, Sew-n on my mind.
ENJOY SEWING
very important for all of us quilters to remember and take this
very seriously to heart. "Prepare yourself mentally for sewing. Think about what you are going to do. Never approach sewing with a sigh or lackadaisically. Good results are difficult when indifference predominates. Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade. When there are urgent housekeeping chores, do them first so your mind is free to enjoy your sewing. When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible. Put on a clean dress. Keep a little bag full of French chalk near your sewing machine to dust your fingers at intervals. Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on. If you are constantly fearful that a visitor will drop in or your husband will come home and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy sewing as you should."

Thanks for buying my DVD. I can't wait to see what you make from my video! (BTW, the blue portrait is by someone else. Sorry, I don't know the name of that artist.)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. I had been very interested in these types of portraits and recently stumbled onto a wonderful blog by Ginny Greaves. I've done one portrait of my granddaughter and love it. Can't wait to see what your projects looks like.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thank You Rhonda is the portrait you did on your blog? i will google Ginny Greaves and see what she did. I have some orders for a couple of quilts and two of my purses The Bow Tuck and the Scrappy one. Then i will start working on it. What kind of fabric you use it looks like Batik will work well i don't know at least something in that print.
