In the true spirit of Witney, and like a good wee mummy, I spent a day with my daughter & her friend teaching them how to sew mugrugs!
The big girls were back to school but my youngest had an extra day off on Monday. So we arranged for her friend to come round, who also enjoys sewing.
They got straight to work!

| It's a hard life barking at builders all day! |
And with the builders banging, the dog barking, and the electricity going off half way through, the girls triumphed with 2 crazy patchwork mugrugs, while I nursed my very last shredded nerve!!

And in the words of another well known celeb.. "Didn't they do well?"
Wow, they did wonderfully well!
ReplyDeleteThey did a fantastic job! And so did you nursing those nerves :)
ReplyDeleteThey did a brilliant job. Put my mug rugs to shame! No wonder they have big smiles on their faces!
ReplyDeleteThey did, they did and also look pleased with the results! Two more sewists to nurture - when are they starting their blogs??
ReplyDeleteTake a deep breath and if the builders are around tomorrow go out for a little tranquility! Even if you just cadge a cuppa of a friend! Been there!
They did brilliantly well, and I love their FMQ too!
ReplyDeleteYeah they did well, but didnt you do well too!!
ReplyDeleteFab job by the girls -love that you are sharing the skills down the generations! Not sure I'm going to have anyone to pass mine on to. Aww....
ReplyDeleteI should have been smarter and said "teach them well and let them lead the way" (was once a HUGE Whitney fan!)
ReplyDeleteThey sure did.! Have the nerves settled yet?
ReplyDeleteWonderful mug rugs!
ReplyDeleteThey did! And by the sounds of it so did you! :)
ReplyDeleteHow much do they charge to FMQ a whole quilt?
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent job they did - and what a cute dog.
ReplyDeleteThey did wonderfully, the dog looks happy and I am glad you managed the day.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, hope that nerve is healing again now! They did do a fab job though
ReplyDeleteWow - well done these clever girls. Now I need to get on and have a go at a mug rug - although I'm not sure mine will be 'a patch' (get it?) on theirs!!
ReplyDeleteMore like - didn't you do well!! Good for you. In my opinion, I think that sewing should still be taught in school.
ReplyDeleteThey are fabulous, well done girls!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that they're taking an interest in sewing too! I'd have been proud of either of the two mugs rugs myself.

They did a wonderful job (probably b/c they had a wonderful teacher :0) )
ReplyDeleteThe girls look very proud of their creations. My daughter is at a sleepover right now at my friends' house and she gave her daughter and mine their first sewing lesson last night! Can't wait to see what they made!
Brilliant, love the quilting, ladies!
ReplyDeletethese are so cute! bet they are so proud of them x
