Hi Maree,

Well, I just had to say that Matthew, Cameron and Poppy are so lucky to have you! You have made so many beautiful and useful things! I have kept all the lovely things that were made for my children so they can use them for their own children if they choose. I just adore things made out of love. They are by far the best gift you can give! Poppy is just beautiful! I look forward to watching this little lady grow through your gorgeous reports in class.

All my love,
Alana xx

Hi Peg,

Wow 10 grandchildren of your own that is wonderful and two great grandchildren – they must all keep you very busy!

I’m glad to hear you’re back into your sewing again.

Wonderful to hear you have such a great time at your sewing guild. It sounds like you make lots of creative projects together. I love show and tell as well!

Thank you I’m glad you enjoy my weekly sewing tips. Stay tuned I’m including some monthly sewing video demonstration tips next month too!

Happy sewing,
Maree

Hi Maree, Congrates on becoming a grandma. It is a wonderful experience as I am a first time Nanma to my son’s daughter. She is 3 now and i am privledges to lok after her every Wednesday. The cameras had a full work out for the first 2 years. Initially I did a lot of sewing for her but due to the mothers family buying many designer label items I have not done a lot since. One day Ella ( the one and only grand daughter ) and I made Dora clothes for her doll. Ella was about 2 at the time. I sat her on my knee to quickly sew up a T and shorts in the Dora colours with a big D vlisofixed on the T and velcro for ease to dress. She is very familiar with my workroom and loves to play with pieces of fabric. I hope your journey with your Poppy is as fullfilling as mine has been so far.
p.s love your web page and info. I find you confirm my messages to my students in sewing etc.

Regards Julie Underdown
