Cynthia it was so nice to be able to share time with you at Frocktails. I have ordered the Blaire top pattern from Style Arc. I never would have picked up on how that is made if you hadn’t worn it to brunch. You sew beautifully!!!
Thank you, Kim. It’s a pretty easy sew. Since you have been sewing for a long time, you should have no problem sewing a Style Arc pattern. I enjoyed spending time with you at Frocktails and at brunch. 😊
Sounds like a marvellous time was had by all. You looked so pretty in your dress (and I love your new Donny too!). Thanks so much for sharing your experience ❤x
I’m so glad you were able to go and meet so many other people who love sewing. I love your dress; that color looks so nice on you. I’m looking forward to hearing all the details. Your Donny shirt is lovely as well. I just love wearing viscose/rayon, and I’m assuming the Atelier Jupe fabric must feel like you’re wearing silk. I am so happy you felt like sewing, and that Donny shirt is such a success! I never got back about donating, but my husband had already given to Samaritan’s Purse. We’ll still do something in Avery but at the moment we are dealing with issues. We finally finished the treadle (!!!) and moved my Grandmother’s chiffonier to another room to make room for the treadle. The chiffonier has been there over 8 years and we were shocked to find some mold on the baseboard and the wood flooring under the baseboard is compromised. That wall backs up to both bathrooms so we probably have a leak in the wall. Beside the chiffonier was a shelving unit filled with sewing notions, patterns, threads, etc. All that has had to be relocated so the wall can be removed to fix it. The plumber comes tomorrow so we’ll know more then. The great news is that I can actually treadle and love, love, love sewing on it. It is a bit of a learning curve but so much fun. My tie front shirt is almost complete. Hopefully, the treadle will be moved to the living room and l can just sew in there until repairs are completed. It’s pretty quiet unless I treadle really fast. I’ve been praying for every one of you who’ve been affected. I’ve seen enough to know that building back is going to take a long, long time and prayers and resources will be needed. I just feel so grateful that everyone I know is safe. One of our friends was without power for 13 days, but she was able to stay with a relative. I know many people weren’t so blessed, so I will keep praying. I suspect going to Frocktails was such a good idea for you because when you are keeping yourself centered and upbeat, you will be a blessing to those around you. Please take care of yourself Cynthia and know that others are keeping you in our prayers.
Nadine, I'm so glad you have the treadle restored and love sewing on it. That is wonderful. I do hope you can move it to your living room for a while. It's terrible that you found the mold damage, but it's good you found it when you did. Hopefully, you all will find the leak and get all the restoration done quickly. Donating to Samaritan's Purse is a great option. From my understanding, they were some of the first boots on the ground in Boone. I watched several videos of the Samaritan's Purse team working in the neighborhoods and helping people. It's a wonderful organization. It will take many months for a lot of areas to be restored or remade. I know some areas, the landscape is forever changed and can not be restored to what it once was. But, I hope they will be able to make things better for all the people. I felt better about going and doing what little bit I could. Thank you for your continued prayers, and I will pray for you and your family.
@@MountainAccentsSewing I’m so sorry Cynthia. I didn’t mean for you to worry about us. I just wanted you to understand why I wasn’t going to be sewing. We are renting, so this will only be an inconvenience for us. We just felt terrible that we hadn’t moved the furniture and didn’t realize there was a problem. The plumber did confirm that it was a leak in the wall causing the issues, there will have to be a good bit of repair work done. Samaritan’s Purse is a great organization, and they are doing amazing work. It’s just nice to be able to do more specific things. When Katrina hit, our church sent two different groups down Gulfport to help, and my son and I were able to go both times. It was very rewarding to be able to personally interact with those in need. Giving money isn’t the same. And now that I’m getting older, I’m realizing that my desire to do something specific is probably just showing me my lack of faith in my prayers for His provisions. It’s easy to feel like your prayers are being answered when you are also able to do something and can see the change, but it’s just blind trust when you can’t do something yourself. I feel terrible that I bothered you or Diann at all.
For some reason, Helene has felt very personal to me even though I haven’t been affected. I’ve been grateful for all the people God has protected, but it hurts seeing all the pain and hardship that have resulted. It’s especially hard knowing it didn’t have to be this hard. On our first trip to mud out in Gulfport we saw a few FEMA trailers, but on our second trip to rebuild, they were everywhere! I remember thinking how nice it was that people could stay on their own property which gave them the chance to help with and oversee their rebuild. That was how we got to know the older lady who owned the home we worked on during our second trip. I just thought that the people of North Carolina and Tennessee would have that same opportunity as the people in Gulfport. Knowing that they won’t hurts a lot. I have to trust that God is using all this hardship and suffering for good in some way. It does do my heart good to know how many people care about all of you in the affected regions. I can only imagine all the prayers being lifted up for all of you!!!
@nadinewoods6971 There’s no need to apologize. I care about my viewers too. I do understand the desire to work in person. I haven’t been able to do that myself because of working. I did help deliver supplies one time. Thank you so much for your prayers and kindness. ❤️
Loved hearing about the event. Looks like a lot of fun. Can’t wait to hear all about your dress.
Hopefully, I will find the time to film the review this weekend. 🤞I had so much fun! 😊❤️
So happy you got to go! Good times…your dress and wristlet are beautiful and you looked so beautiful in the pictures! Happy Sewing!
