Dionnahawkins, I read about your stitch mistake, however, I do not understand what it means. Could you explain the term for me? Thanks, hugs.

Yes, Jrob, when we were kids sewing on Sunday was not allowed. I think because back in those days sewing was not 'fun' but considered 'work', like mending clothes, etc. And Sunday was definitely a day of rest from work, because around here stores were not allowed to be open on Sunday, and we actually spent family time together, going for a ride in the country, on a picnic, to the zoo or the playground. Well, nostalgic this afternoon, I guess. luv, Marji

Well Marji, I think our young people would be better off if we went back to more of those days, mostly the family time.H. *.

Oops, Don't know how I got double duty. H.

I think she meant that her mother taught her that Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, and if you ignored that you would have to pay on Monday, and that is what happened to her. She stitched out a 18,000 stitch project on Sunday and it didn't work out the way she planned.

My sister still goes by that saying. She does no handcraft work or major projects.
