Friday in Vermont: Sewing with Maddy!

Each time we see Maddy she has a very special sewing project planned for Grace and Jack. Baby Eve will join in on the fun too when she is a wee bit older! I just love seeing how excited Grace and Jack become to be able to sew with Maddy. On our recent visit to Vermont Maddy had chosen very special John Deere tractor fabric for Jack and yellow flowered fabric for Grace (her new favorite color is yellow!) to make pillows.

Jack-a-roo loves everything about Maddy's sewing machine. He loves sitting with Maddy, choosing different stitches, pressing the buttons on the sewing machine and pushing the pedal to make the needle move.

Gracie girl has been sewing with Maddy for several years now. Grace treasures this time with her Maddy and I love seeing these two beautiful girls together! Their conversations are always so sweet.

Grace and Jack both really enjoyed filling their pillows with batting. They both decided to sprinkle some of Maddy's lavender inside of their pillows too!

Grace has learned so much about sewing from Maddy. In the picture above, Grace is studying Maddy's sewing machine.

I think it is wonderful how much Jack loves to sew. We were in L.L. Bean today and Jack was most excited to see a 1914 sewing machine that was on display in the lobby area. I think the entire store heard Jack say "OH MY GOODNESS....A SEWING MACHINE!"

Here is Jack's finished pillow. Thank you so much to Maddy for sharing your love of sewing with Grace and Jack.
