I am glad you like the pillow. Kevi...Thanks, Mom! I am glad you like the pillow. Kevin was telling me that he just figured I would be able to cut a square and sew it and it would be simple enough for me to do. Who knew I would like sewing so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905246453041537715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218319469076156743.post-84684096891503203092011-08-30T16:52:27.748-04:002011-08-30T16:52:27.748-04:00Today I was given a beautiful pillow for my family...Today I was given a beautiful pillow for my family room--I love it. I must admit I was very skeptical when Jenny told me of Kevin's idea for her to sew pillows. I remembered back to Jenny's early teen years and trying to teach her to sew--it was not successful, Jenny was not interested in sewing. That has now changed and it is amazing to see the transformation. My mother started teaching me to sew when I was ten and I am happy to watch Jenny discover the joy of sewing. My only question is--why did this idea of Jenny sewing pillows pop into Kevin's head??Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735233622122827703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218319469076156743.post-82175790441784003792011-08-30T15:11:51.376-04:002011-08-30T15:11:51.376-04:00Remember the movie, "What About Bob?" He...Remember the movie, "What About Bob?" He was always taking baby steps. Baby steps to the thread, baby steps to the sewing machine, baby steps to turn it on... I remember when we were in Copenhagen, you were going to come home and start making clothes and dress like the Danish. Do it and teach me!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905246453041537715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218319469076156743.post-2842804839215270492011-08-30T15:07:36.034-04:002011-08-30T15:07:36.034-04:00Varina,

My mom also brought over some curtains, she sewed and is no longer using so that I can have some practice fabric. Thanks for all the links. I will check them all out. <br />JenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905246453041537715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218319469076156743.post-11166762949084383902011-08-30T08:08:24.355-04:002011-08-30T08:08:24.355-04:00LOVE that fabric!!

Never mind that I couldn't finish the skirt, shirt, whatever.
