my clever sister

Post by sleepy »

my sister Chris was told in grammar school 48 years ago that she would never be able to sew a straight seam, let alone make anything useful, so, to all those doubting thomases of long ago , i give them the \/ sign

this is the patwork quilt she has just finished for my grandson James, the patchwork pattern is called around the world, the theme is peter rabbit, so she has called it around the world with peter rabbit, i love it, she is so very clever, a huge big thank you to my big sis

Isn't that just beautiful, how clever she is.
I also had a teacher at school, not allowing me to do cross stitch. As I couldn't sew. Now I love to do it. :?

Just wish some teachers would think a bit more before coming out with something critical - the poor ones don't realise the power they have to do damage.
But talent will out, it seems! Congrats to all who have had the courage to overcome past criticism. )t'

Needlework and me soon parted company at school and quite rightly too - but as for your sister ,the teacher made a stupid comment there eh, a beautiful piece of work

Absolutely beautiful. Really am quite jealous! Always wanted to do something like that, hopefully to be passed down the family!
