The only bad part was that I had to come home.
and we got so much done. we sewed and sewed and sewd. So much fun, learning new things, going shop hopping and we even went to see a lavendar farm in lower Michigan. We brought home enough dried lavendar to make tons and tons of sachets. My house smells so good.
Had to make an apron. I actually don't own one, and sine tuesday evening was my first class on cake decorating I needed to have one. So adorable!
In the evening you always have to have a hand work project. We sit around and discuss the days events and make plans for the next day as we sit and do our hand work. This is all done and ready to frame. No place picked out for it yet, but I am sure I will find one.
And these cuties will be going to my two little cuties for school. They will be so surprised!
And this wall hanging was done by my sister (who is hideing behind it) I just love it!
We had such a wonderful vacation together. Sewing, girl talk, day trips, all the things sisters do with their time together.
Need to go back again soon!

Jean, I have read your blog off and on for the past year. I am a recently retired school librarian/English teacher. Although I have been sewing since I was 10, I only began quilting projects a few years ago. Mainly I stick to baby quilts and wall hangings. I also do machine embroidery. Like you, I live in a small WI community. So sorry to hear about your job loss. It is happening to so many people and it really hurts when we are a little older. I have two dear friends that are dealling with the same. Keep up your spirits and keep sewing. It is great that your children would be willing to offer you a place to stay.l
