Sewing Again!
If you've read this blog for some time, you'll know that Mrs. F. G. is a quilter and loves to sew. But 9.5 months ago, when I went into hospital, her sewing abruptly ended. Since then her time has been taken up first by visiting me for 7 months, and second by caring for me since we came home 11 weeks ago. So I'm very pleased to report that Mrs. F.G. got back into her sewing room for 2-3 hours last week, and whipped up a couple of small sewing projects.
These are two simple corded bowls, made entirely from scraps of fabric. I still don't quite understand exactly how she does this, but the result is quite striking. These ones are 10-12" across, and 4-6" deep. After all the hectic days we've had since getting home, tnis is a big sign of progress!

Oh the bowls are beautiful. Glad that Mr FG is back to sewing. : )
ReplyDeleteWow so nice that she can actually enjoy some time doing what she loves to do the bowls are amazing.
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
ReplyDeleteIt's good she's having some time for herself, we all need that sometimes. Those bowls are really colorful; when I was a boy we had some rugs that were probably made the same way.
ReplyDeleteI love them. While I like the colours in the first one best, the second is quite festive. Tell her she's an amazing crafter and seamstress. - Margy
ReplyDeleteLots of time spent on these attractive bowls.
ReplyDeleteYay for Mrs. FG! For taking care of you, FG, and for returning to a very worthwhile (and obviously much loved) hobby. Though I must say everything we see of hers is way better than just a hobby. She's an artist. Thank you for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteThose are very attractive. It's good that she can find time for projects of her own.
ReplyDeleteThings are beginning to return to your new normal. That's a good sign, and I do love those pretty bowls! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Mrs. F.G. to be back in her beautiful sewing room. Love those colourful bowls and she has inspired me to get busy and make some.

ReplyDeleteSo happy Mom is back sewing. Is it too late to put in a Christmas order? I know a little girl and boy that would love something special from Nana.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and lovely! You both are blessed.
ReplyDeleteWell done Mrs FG
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I have wanted to make those kinds of bowls forever! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteReally like those colorful corded bowls. Oh to have the talent and patience to do something like that.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful talent! Love the bowls, they are unique. I'm glad she is now settled into her hobby and knows that her hubby is comfortable at home.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!! It's wonderful she can devote some time to her hobby again. That's good news!
