Laurie,
I am so glad you liked your armchair sewer. It was fun to make.
I also liked the fabric. I thought the little girls quilting and
sewing were so cute. I have made some of the mini aprons like the
pattern I sent to you. Everyone loves them. I think you will have
loads of fun making them as well. I am really enjoying the armchair sewer you made for me. Love it!
Blessings and Hugs!

Madelena,
Most happy that you like it, also wanted to let you know that the pin cushion is filled with crushed walnut shells. I have taught classes on making "Make Do's". Years ago, well even now, we make pincushions out of what we have handy. My grandmother filled her's with crushed walnut shells. She had a walnut farm years ago. And it actually helps to keep the pins and needles sharp. I hope you enjoy.
Best always

Kammi.. Oh my gosh.. your arm chair caddie was sooo wonderful. I couldn't leave the Post Office without ripping open the package..and said to my self, I hope its fun and funky. SOOOO CUTE!
Girls.. It is geometric black patterns and wonderful dark purple accent panels. Did I mention I love purple !!. It goes so well in my "pink" room. Color combo is magenta pink, red, purple (honest, it's a color wheel thing). Most of the accent are in wall accessories.. Also noted Black being the color that makes everything pop !! If I can get a picture I will post it.
And Kammi, your sewing skills are outstanding.. AND I FORGOT TO MENTION THE SWEET STORK SCISSORS THAT WERE INCLUDED.
THANK YOU SOO SOO MUCH !! I LOVE IT !!

Madelena, The armchair caddie made it just fine, I love it..colors are great. Goes perfectly with my living room. Sorry I haven't been on line. In a lot of pain, can't function or concentrate. Surgery is scheduled for Monday...All goes well I will be back to normal in about 2-3 weeks. Hhmmmm, well maybe longer. Your caddie is in the mail. Hope you like it. Got to run, must clear my desk, going to be off work for 2 months. Ouch... Best always Kim

Darlene,
Love the caddy you made, perfect fall colors and the green sets it off just right. It took a minute looking at it to realize there are little gnomes. I like garden gnomes. Love the little card too, did you make that?
