How proud can a mother/Nonna be. My eldest Daughter invited her two younger sisters and their two little Daughters to a sewing day at Malaney QLD. Oh so sad i was 1400lkm away. Sorry pics came crossed up, when you click on them they pop up proper. Pic 2 youngest g/daughter Briella 3rd pic Madison. 4th pic Youngest daughter Rose . Her first lined bag made on her 1st machine. Very proud Nonna here :)

Pauline what great pictures.Yes sad that you were not there but, if it had not been for you showing them how to sew this day would probably not have happened. Looks like they were all having fun.

What a wonderful tribute to their mother/Nonna! My daughter has never taken an interest in sewing. My daughter in law wanted a machine so we bought her one and once a year I go show her how to thread it again! LOL I do have 2 granddaughters, so there IS hope!

Well, that may just be a pretense for my coming up and helping. :)

Lovely family you have got and they do have fun being creative! Hope next time you can join and perhaps show them some sewing and embroidering "secrets". But it must be a great feeling that your girls
follow your path...
Love Maria

Lovely pictures Nonna, looks like they are enjoying themselves! We are over in the States at present enjoying our grand kids, we don't get to spend enough time with them as they live so far away and they grow so quick! Making the most of our time with them.

This is such a fun picture of them, this is special to them as Mom was there in spirit and they listened to her voice teaching from their hearts. Sad you couldn't be there but loving you, for the example you set and the one they are passing on. Great job, Mom! ( hope this one shows up with flowers or you may get more...:P)

OH Well done Rose et al.
It must be wonderful having daughters to share such things with, even if only in spirit. You should feel very proud of setting them such a great example BBF. Rose has come a long way already, hasn't she. :-)
hugs n love,

Hello mother dearest, this is eldest daughter #1. Bet your shocked to see me on here! I just wanted to say how beautiful all these comments are for my darling mother. She is an inspiration to each of her daughters...sounds cliche but our mum really is. I never was interested in craft or sewing until mum went through a serious health scare. It all started when she was in hospital and we had to wait. Waiting is the worst. I went next door to Spotlight (how convenient!) and mum had given me a list of fabric and bits to buy. Well, to say the least, I got hooked from that moment and have not looked back! Thank goodness for technology because we could 'share' his day with mum even though she was so far away. We talked about her alot and yes we wished she was there....one day soon, we hope hey mumma? Love you more than you ever will know, thankyou for being a special person in our lives... nonna57sdaughter1 xxxx

Pauline I cannot begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed looking at your photos as well as reading all the comments from everyone. You are blessed you know.. I learned how special you were when you were beside Meg so much through her ordeal. A fantastic mom you are (can tell by your daughter's comments) and a wonderful friend to have. love you/Lillian
