My daughter has been a big part of my sewing and quilting, starting with hanging out inside the quilt stores as a child.
Here she is last spring in Mulhouse, France across the street from the textile museum
She accompanied me to NYC where we both enjoyed the Infinite Variety quilt show.
She has had the privilege to meet several of my dear quilting friends.
She has browsed textile shops in Paris.
Enjoyed the quilt show in Alsace, France.
She has seen rare and beautiful textiles from Beauville.
So I guess it wouldn't be too surprising that for Christmas she asked for sewing classes!
The Portland Fashion Institute had the perfect class:
Learn to Sew 1. Mondays, January 4-25, 6-9 pm OR Tuesdays, January 5-25, 10 am-1 pm OR 6-9 pm. Learn to sew in this first level of beginning sewing. Bring your machine or rent one from us. Learn basic survival stitches — as well as the way professionals sew — while you make an apron. Sew quickly and painlessly. Learn to read and understand commercial patterns. No sewing experience is required. Includes pattern & handouts.
Today was her second class and she loves it! She also signed up for a textile lecture and a beginning sashiko class at A Common Thread quilt shop!
It is fun to see her show more of an interest. It only took 32 years!!
