Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
Indeed.
(Me and my trusty sewing mentor and companion, Liz, spent our rainy saturday quite productively. We planned, cut and stitched beautiful things; while laughing, chatting and eating lots of kettle corn. It was a definitely a day well spent.)
(more on what I created, tomorrow..)
This looks like a lovely way to spend the day! And I can't believe we have to wait to see what you made!
ReplyDeleteI've always found the hum of a sewing machine a soothing sound.
