The Spring-Summer 1999 issue is full of ideas for mothers and daughters to wear, as well as and things they can make together.

This seventh issue of the Digest also shows you how to "write" a thank you note in embroidery.

Learn how to make a doll’s 50's-style poodle skirt and a classic floral pillow.

Plus, we complete two more squares in our heirloom quilt, meet two pioneering guest editors, and bring you hints and projects from Janome sewists around the country.

The “Mommy, Me And Dolly Makes Three” project shows you how to start with a plain jumper, add simple embroidery and serger embellishments, and transform it into a delightful dress -- in any size.

Yarn embroidery is the focus of our second mother/daughter feature. In this project, playful Scottie dogs romp across matching jumpers for a doggone cute design.

How do you make your heartfelt thanks an unforgettable gift? Embroider your sentiments on a special “Thank You Pillow” and send it off in a beautiful organza “envelope.” This project uses free motion embroidery to “write” on fabric. If you’ve never tried this technique, this is a great way to learn.

This issue we complete two Quarterly Quilter blocks: The "Four Corners" block has symmetrical floral sprigs encircled by embroidery interwoven with a ribbon. The "Pinwheels" block was inspired by Marie Stevens' childhood memories of the Guy Fawkes holiday celebrations in her native England.

They began as a toy you could make using an old pair of socks. Now they’re a classic, and kids still love to make them and dress them up. They’re sock monkeys, and they're featured in this Issue's Children's Corner. Easy-to-follow directions make this a great project to work on with your kids. Make a whole band of mischievous sock monkeys.
