Sewing Room Interview for May 2015.... In honor of Mothers Day and because she is MY Mom, I decided to feature Marilyn Johnson in this months Sewing Room Interview...
This is my Mom... isn't she adorable? This is her favorite spot in the summer time. Just sitting out on the back deck with her doggie, Daisy and a good read .... and well sometimes, my Dad.
I informed my Father what I was doing and he suggested that I post his picture as well because although he doesn't quilt he has done some hand stitching ( which after much hand gesturing and charade type guessing we figure must have been some sort of a crude form of embroidery!) So there he is in all his awesomeness!
Q- What is your favorite thing in your sewing room?
A-My sewing machine and serger!
Q- What is the most annoying thing about your sewing room?
A- It's just too squishy!...
And because her sewing room is too squishy she tends to spread out a little... Ironing is set up in the dining room, she has the coolest antique ironing board that I think was a wedding gift to my grandparents. Note the pile of little green and white sundresses being sewn for charity.
The dining room sewing machine...
