sewing

Being able to do something with your hands and a bit of fabric and bits of string....wow! Definitely underrated . I was compelled to take a sewing class this week. Compelled mostly because , if not now, when and because they keep delaying the upholstery class which  sounds like a really useful skill. Any way, my point is that today's bit of  grace came when I had to do and re-do the fringe on a pillow three times. Grace , not because I finally did it correctly but because I realized there is truth in straight seams. I have a new found respect for the handiwork of sewers and finishers and quilt makers--so much so that I came home and ordered a pillow from the John Robshaw event at One Kings Lane. Aha!
