The art of sewing, often times I think it may be a passing gift.

@peterdegraaff It can be very productive and satisfying! Good luck to her!

@digitalrn it is evolving But there are still lots of people doing it! All three of my daughters work at it and i hope some day my granddaughters will too. My mother and Grandmother are my role models for this skill!

what great colors these must go to

Nice shot and love the colors you selected, How I miss it Made so many things when I was younger. Happy sewing!

Great color choice.
I have a huge box of threads that were my grandmothers and ended up on a shelf in a back closet here. I have her old sowing box with all the paraphernalia she used. You just gave me an idea for a winter shot!

Glad to hear that you're passing down the skill! I only have sons so I may not have anyone to teach! I don't think my nieces ever learned how to sew...too bad because it sure comes in handy!

@grammyn Well that's great. Keep encouraging them to continue the art.

@lesip Thanks, Leslie!
@darsphotos Glad you like them Darlene! Why did you stop?
@cdonohoue Thanks, Cathy! glad I could inspire. Can't wait to see it!
@vskolnik Boys need to learn too if only so they can sew on a button! In this throw away society it is less important maybe.

@digitalrn I will , thanks!

Love these colors and the detail of the strands of thread! I sometimes wish I sewed more, but it's not as much fun to sew for me... I'd much rather make cute little things like I did for the kids when they were young. :) Mending and hemming and minor alterations are it for me now... but I am sure glad I now how to do those! :)

@marilyn Thank you so much! It is more fun to sew for little ones than anything I have to agree. Even mending is a skill that is disappearing though!
November 16th, 2012  
OH, I miss the days of sewing for my kids!
November 16th, 2012  
WOW, LOVE THE COLOURS!
November 16th, 2012  
@nanalisarocks LOL! I don't so much but now they inspire me for my grandkids and I love seeing something cute appear out of a piece of flat fabric!

@mhatch that is so nice of you Mark! Thanks!

You are coming up with some great subjects, Katy! I like the colors and black background in this. I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas the last couple of days.

@deburahiru Confession? I did this while I was on break this summer and got the idea from a thread ad I think. i am glad you like it. I KNOW you will get your MoJO back soon too! It is only temporary and is necessary to force you to think harder about it. ;~}

Pretty colours and thread detail, like the needle as an item of interest. And you do make so many terrifically FABULOUS things for those lucky grandchildren!!!!!
November 16th, 2012  
@ruthmouch Aww, Ruth that is so kind of you! thanks so much!
November 16th, 2012  
what a lovely idea for a shot... you get some great colour and detail there... and how cool that you sew for your grandkids! they are such lucky ducks :)

@northy Again so thrilled by the visit and comment , Northy! Thanks for such kind words.
November 17th, 2012  
Oh nice!! I would love to see some of your sewing projects. I use to sew very much but don't right now. Very nice colors and who would have ever thought of putting the threads together - very creative.
November 17th, 2012  
@myhrhelper Thanks a bunch. I find it takes a lot of time so sometimes it is either sewing or shooting! ;~} I have posted some things on FB if you want to see some of what I have made!
November 17th, 2012  
I like the simplicity of the composition and the vivid colors! Your grand kids are lucky to have your skills at the ready!
