I always save scrap ribbons of all sorts and Gracie wanted to use them some way so I showed her how to zig-zag them on top of fabric to give it some texture and dimension. So she sewed this one herself and I completed the edges. I know this has nothing to do with embroidery, but just wanted to share.

Thank you Reva, she loves being creative and enjoys spending time with her "noni" because she knows I will let her be creative and there isn't competition with others. LOL

Yes, she actually has been using my small machine since she was about 7. It doesn't matter how often she visits, she has to create something. I think it is the environment. My daughter Jess is very creative, but just doesn't have time with 3 others, plus teaching Irish dance...
