My youngest daughter decided she was going to make a quilt for a friend that transfered to another college in the fall. She has joined me in my sewing room.....

I have passed on my addictions.......quilting and coffee :shock:

It was fun having her there working on this project while I was at my machine and we could talk. But ou of the clear blue she states, "You were a hippie, weren't you Mom."

"Where did you ever get that idea? Not quite." (I'm pretty straight lace. - well, except for the pirate mouth.)

"Well, you made your own clothes - that's what hippies did." :shock:

Thank goodness we have some time together to straighten out our family tree so she doesn't pass on any misnomers.

A hippie of all things - I only wished I could have been a hippie, just didn't live the dream.

Jan,

A green gathering - sounds like something my kids would be at if it were closer. Sharing my toys and not getting to use the iron when I want to is the only down part of my daughter sewing with me. When she was little it was when she would cut a tiny piece of fabric out of the center of a large cut instead of cutting it on the edge like I showed her SEVERAL times. Thank goodness she has progressed since that or I would have put her up on ebay :shock:

When Amy was here working on her wedding dress it was fun. But she cut the boning with my good scissors.
