I was thinking, for a while, that I wouldn't get around to doing this week's theme on you capture. But, I finally got around to lowering my old, weary, aching bones down to the floor. Birthdays always make you feel decrepit, don't they? Anyhow, this is what I found.
Actually, that makes it seem accidental, when really I thought carefully about the photo for almost five days before I got around to taking it. I've been on this sewing/quilting kick lately, so a close up of the treadle on my granny's old sewing machine seemed like just the thing. I'm trying to focus on appreciating the machines that I have in my house, instead of the idea of buying an old one that I found while thrifting this weekend. . .
For last week's You Capture theme, Down Low, I took a picture of the treadle on Granny's sewing machine. . . this week, the theme is chairs, and as I'm still obsessed with quilting, and family, and traditions, I decided to post this picture. The chair is an old cowhide chair that's been in the family for eons. And, the cushion on the chair is one that my Maw-Maw quilted. I inherited it when she and Paw-Paw moved into the nursing home this year. They don't have any now, but when I was growing up, every chair in her house was covered with a quilted cushion very similar to this. It gives me the warm fuzzies every time that I see it.
