Sewing With Maddy



These are some of my favorite pictures of Grace and Maddy. Grace loves every moment she spends with Maddy and some of their sweetest moments together have been spent sewing. Grace is learning all about sewing and how to use a sewing machine from the best --- her Maddy! Grace and Maddy worked together last Tuesday to sew Grace's lovey named Ella. Ella is a small pink elephant that Maddy gave to Grace when she was just a baby. Grace has loved Ella over the past three years so much that she was very frayed and slightly torn around the edges. Grace and Maddy chose a zigzag stitch to sew the outside edges of Ella and now she is as good as new! Maddy also added a little fabric patch to the end of Ella's trunk. Grace loves her "new" Ella so much.

Yeah, Maddy and Grace! Reinforcing Ella means more loving, more reassurance that life is good and secure. What a gift those stitches are!

Rebecca, you are so right. Your Mom has an amazing talent; she is creative, a visionary.

XOXOXO,

I have been waiting for a moment like this.
Ella has been mended and Grace's gasps of delight in the sewing process were joyous and enchanting.
I loved this moment.
Love, Maddy
