Well, somebody has been sewing...

I have not been able to sit at my sewing machine much in the past 10 days.  Someone else has been using it!

My granddaughter, Emily, has been making Christmas gifts for friends and family.  It has been so hot that we brought the machine down to the first floor and she has been sewing in the dining room.  Em loves my Brother sewing machine and has been trying to convince me that I need to send it home with her!   I have been told not to "hover" when she is sewing.  She really needs very little advice or supervision at this point.  I am finding it difficult to stay back but I am doing my best to only approach when asked.

So far Emily has made 5 pillow covers and has plans to make a few more.  She just finished free motion quilting one and did a beautiful job.  I would show you except that is for someone special and she doesn't want to take the chance that he might see it on my blog!

Here are some that she has finished.  I think she is doing a fantastic job picking out fabrics and putting these together.

My sister was kind enough to allow Emily to do some machine embroidery.  Now it looks like I will have to buy a machine that has that feature!

I hope to have the opportunity to sew tomorrow.  I have a couple of commissioned pieces that have to be completed and I have a quilt project of my own that I want to start.  Now if I can just get the kid away from my machine...!
