Fortunately, I was saved by my very capable niece Kelcy --
BUT -- during the dark time -- I tried to go back to see if I could "cut & paste" some of my favorite posts...
Which was really not going to be possible...
But, because I will be traveling a lot this month -- I decided to post some "reruns"...
AND, if things go right -- there will be something new (or recycled) posted every day...
I wrote this one last summer -- after spending a day with my young friend Anne in Cedar Rapids. WE ARE LONG OVERDUE, BABE!! On this day -- we were going to Pine Needles to meet Mr. Bernina...
She recently sent this email note:
It's fair time and we're getting our reports ready. As I was cutting and pasting pictures I had a happy feeling that I wanted to share. What could be better than kids sewing? At one of our spring 4-H meetings our kids made travel pillows. They had practice cutting with a pattern, sewing around curves, clipping seams, recognizing right and wrong sides, stuffing, hand stitching, and the joy of a finished project. These girls are only 7 and 8 and they already have a very exclusive skill.
Again -- thanks for sharing, Anne!! Your kids are very lucky, indeed...!!
And there is NOTHING better than kids sewing!! 
I see BLUE RIBBONS all over the place... 
I love spending today with you and the kids, Anne. There is NOTHING like a relaxing day spent with girlfriends...AND some sewing inspiration..!!
