I had a lovely light weight pink jumper I bought in England over 20 years ago. I do still fit in it!!! <br /><br />However, some silverfish attacked a small part on the sleeve just under my wrist. So I darned it and it worked out perfectly.<br /><br />Regards,Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674744363465133401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472494802485047770.post-38608876720897674502011-02-03T08:45:34.191-08:002011-02-03T08:45:34.191-08:00Love the fabrics you are using on those great litt...Love the fabrics you are using on those great little blocks! happy sewing, hugs, DaniëlleDaniëllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219636189360924706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472494802485047770.post-36831855806134253752011-02-03T06:33:04.398-08:002011-02-03T06:33:04.398-08:00Hallo Heidi, Leuk dat je reageerde op mijn blog.

Leuk dat je ook klost. en nog leuker dat je dat samen met een vriendin kunt doen. Ik heb helemaal geen "handwerk" kennissen, ook mijn dochters niet, dus ik zit altijd maar alleen te prutsen... Leve internet, want zo kun je toch op een bepaalde manier samen genieten. Vraagje: dat kantje op het Christmaskussen, heb je dat ook zelf geklost?<br />Ik kom nu regelmatig langs hoor, om naar je werk te kijken.<br />Groetjes,<br />RianRia,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17047580051242955528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472494802485047770.post-32619204165992307302011-02-03T04:10:24.824-08:002011-02-03T04:10:24.824-08:00I still have three of my Grandma's darning ...I still have three of my Grandma's darning 'mushrooms' as they were known.

Now I just sew the hole together because I hate to throw out perfectly good socks that just have a hole where my big toes stick up, which may be too much information!

It is always so much fun to see all the different blocks and how quickly they add up,whether I am the one sewing them or my friends. You are doing a great job as usual. I was really drawn to the painting as well and I agree with you all the way....we are such a throw away society, my Grandmother taught me to darn but like you if I was going to try this I would first have to find the egg....sounds like an Easter egg hunt...grins...I am happy dancing big time here in Ca. and will be sending an email with pics soon.
