After a long hiatus, my mother has taken up sewing again. It began a little bit before Christmas of last year. She got into making some pillows for gifts. Now she has moved on to quilts. I thought that I would help to broaden her horizons and give her some ideas of what people are sewing these days. (The last time she did a lot of sewing was the 1990's and before that the 1970's.)
I picked up the above books through the library loan system and dropped them off at her house. She was like a kid in the candy store with them. She teased me that I hadn't purchased the books for her, but rather they were the libraries, so she wasn't allowed to keep them. (Perhaps a hint for her yuletide gift this year?)
She returned them to me the other day because they are due soon. No comment as to what she might have decided to make. That leaves me in anticipation of what sewing project she is going to proudly present to me on my next visit to her home.
The books pictured above are:
In Stiches
Last Minute Fabric Gifts
Bend the Rules Sewing
