Love the story of your Nonno and how he put your name and date on your first sewing box. I was the same age when I started cross stitching...I remember being so excited when I finished my first stitch! Beautiful progress on the Loose feathers and that 1909 bird has beautiful, colourful plumage!

Great that you preserved your first sewing box and your first pincushion!<br />My first start on crafting (I think it was a kind of finger-crocheting) was back in 1972 at school. Sewing and stitching followed some years later.<br /><br />Your progresses and finishes are wonderful. Especially the french pieces are adorable. I knew the thread (Atalies), but I did not know the designs.<br /><br />Happy stitching<br />HildaHildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092954687050252606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634613987157605022.post-20446372675814565662014-05-06T05:15:08.972-07:002014-05-06T05:15:08.972-07:00Oh my goodness, what a blast from the past!

I remember the old Dymo machines!! I still have my first sewing box - it is an old red and white plastic woven one... Can't remember how old I was when I got it but I was still in primary school so it was in the 70's as well. <br />I am in awe of your beautiful stitching and the designs that you are working on. Just stunning :)<br />Hugs xxStitching Nonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350627941575473528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634613987157605022.post-44086905730346039262014-05-05T12:04:41.264-07:002014-05-05T12:04:41.264-07:00The French designs are so lovely, the colours are ...The French designs are so lovely, the colours are so delicate.<br /><br />And what a fantastic story about your Nonno, I remember Dymo-tape, my Dad has a machine, I used to love making labels!<br />I did stitch a little mat in Year 2 at school (age 7) but did nothing more until 1993 so 20 years after you started! Coincidentally, I was 7 in the same year you started stitching! Imagine two little girls on opposite sides of the world, both stitching their first design in the same year :-)Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634613987157605022.post-75546058659456830062014-05-05T03:51:35.162-07:002014-05-05T03:51:35.162-07:00What a treasure to have that sewing box with the g...What a treasure to have that sewing box with the great story to go with it. I have some of those old spools with the incredibly low prices on them too. I even have steel crochet hooks that have "10 cents" embossed on them.
