I'm hoping to finish some pillows and placemats. I am looking at doing some smocking though. If you pick out a pattern for a smock-along I'll be glad to join you.<br /><br />Dawn<br />sewmanygirls (from MP fan club group)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311472593830763904.post-8913365389544985792010-09-07T17:55:04.362-07:002010-09-07T17:55:04.362-07:00Thanks so much for letting me know about SAGA in L...Thanks so much for letting me know about SAGA in Lancaster.

I remember the day I signed up I actually called and joined just because I was so excited that I wanted to share that excitement with someone else who would understand. Hopefully you'll find enough local interest so you can start a guild. It's so fun to get together and share with others!

That worked well for me having a full time job and family. When my daughter had her first daughter, now 7, I tried to smock and construct some special items as I had lost my mom. But I have the beginning of arthritis in my hands and smocking really irritated it. I haven't tried machine smocking but may have to as I now have 4 grand girls!!<br /><br />That"s my story@Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065882134448301808noreply@blogger.com
