I too painted one of those exact books. My Mom was an "Art*x" Instructor and I remember well her gathering up all her things to go to people's homes and show them all the technique's. She also spent many an hour with my daughter painting with the liquid embroidery. She also used to fuss over the nibs. I remember so many times that she would bring home peoples paints that needed some TLC and work at them getting them to work smoothly again. All because she loved people and wanted to give them good service. Thank you for your post and the memories that it has brought back to me today of my Mom.<BR/>Debbie M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-940934883543002412009-02-09T19:06:00.000-08:002009-02-09T19:06:00.000-08:00Oh yes, my mom went to those liquid embroidery par...Oh yes, my mom went to those liquid embroidery parties and had a huge set.

So wish I could be there. That is fun that our parents share a birthday. It will be 14 years this year that my mom passed away so I think we have that in common too. My mom was only 57. This is a good reminder to start writing things down.

And today we are both sharing the memories that they left us. <BR/><BR/>How well I remember the liquid embroidery. I bought a large tablecloth...embroidered in shades of blue...thinking I would actually do the work. I passed it along to my dear mom-in-law...who completed the task, after I lost interest.

Your mom's attention to detail and her 'nibs' are reflected in your attention to detail - the font, the photos etc - on your blog.<BR/>I love the idea of passing the books on to the next generation - that's what it's all about.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-25118504583799180302009-02-09T07:33:00.001-08:002009-02-09T07:33:00.001-08:00Blogging can be a wonderful way to keep memories. ...Blogging can be a wonderful way to keep memories. Have you seen that site (sorry I don't remember it now) that turns one's blog into a book? Pretty reasonably, too. Perhaps it's Shutterfly. <BR/><BR/>Well, didn't I just do a double take on this liquid embroidery post. My daughter had that book! My sister made it for her when she got totally wrapped up liquid embroidery for a while back in the 70s. She made some dresser scarves and some pillowcases, too, if I recall correctly.<BR/><BR/>And, further, I followed your link to your cousin's blog where John and I got quite tied up in the story about dreams. That's because when John has a dream, we have learned to pay close attention. Thankfully, he doesn't remember the vast majority of them or I'd be exhausted.<BR/><BR/>Lovely remembrances of your precious mom. She's always with you...Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-88497892377509402542009-02-09T07:33:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:33:00.000-08:00Ohh ! what a neat post of memories!I was a little ...Ohh ! what a neat post of memories!<BR/>I was a little surprised to see me lurking in the corner of your photo! <BR/>That was such a neat surprise for your Mom to have her sister come out! <BR/>I do remember your Mom's liquid embroidery!
