Dressmaker at the Window
Fritz Von Uhde
September 10th is Sewing Machine Day. Cheers to modern sewing machines, truly technological marvels. Most women my age remembering sewing their own clothes and wrestling with horrible machines that shredded sheer fabric, puckered seams and snapped needles. Maybe that's why there's something meditative about sitting down with simple needle and thread.
Hey, I've been invited to a 3-day sewing retreat this month! More on that later. There will be true quilting artists. I've pulled a simple old hand project from the bottom of the closet that I've been working on it for the last 40 years or so. Ha! I'm getting too old to be embarrassed about much of anything...
