Monograms, Easy Peasy

Ha!    It only took an hour to program this new monogram.   Unfortunately, my learning curve on the computer can be really long!   My old sewing buddy, Barb, is visiting from Alabama and she asked if I could do some monogramming for her as her machine won't do it.    We thought it would be a great way for us to do what we used to call "spend the day", which meant we would get together at one of our houses and paint, sew, or garden all day long.

Barb has been busy sewing and painting and "nesting" at her new house in Alabama since moving there 3 years ago.   One of the last projects for her is making a bolster pillow for her bedroom.    That's what the monogram above is going to be used for.

In between all her projects at her own house, she is helping a friend up there to redecorate her home.    This monogram is for Andrea's bedroom and will be a pillow to match the soft teals and whites in the room.

Wow!   I wonder how many hours Barb and I racked up sewing together over the years?   It's a lot, I know that much!   We sure had fun together this week, too.   Even when we haven't seen each other for months, it's like riding a bike; we just fall into the same familiar rhythm of sewing and chatting.

It's good to have a sewing buddy,
Thanks, Barb, for visiting!
Debbie
