Soome Stuff I Wanted You To See

Now I have been storing up things that I wanted to share with you.  I did a class in Moro, Oregon, down past the Dalles and the shop(I believe it was Lisa's Stitching Post) owner included her child who painted a marvelous collection of faces.  Some were very good and some not so good but the remarkable thing was there was no self consciousness.  The girl revelled is just doing it.   

I love having students brin me samples of their work.  I have often said that when I see what you do I can help you to get to where it is you want to go, even if all I do is cheer you on.

Of course it is fun to see my own work mirrored back to me but I must say my biggest thrill is when a student bring me a new thought, something that surprises me.

Now this is a page from a button collection that I bought.  A woman whose father's health was failing started him sewing buttons to a card to keep his hands occupied.  Isn't it grand!

A very old sock doll came to class
