I bet she felt very wanted when you asked her to help you. I guess we can always learn from our elders no matter how old they are. That was a good idea to get the video's of her and her work. When she sat at the machine, she was all business -- it must have come right back to her. How nice of you to be so patient and kind to her. Loved the post ! What a sweetie Eleanor is.

Grannies born early last century knew how to cook, bake bread, sew, plant a mean vegetable garden, slipcover a chair, knit baby booties... you name it. I believe they are the BEST GRANNIES to have! Our generation is very lucky. Grannie E. is absolutely adorable. Not to mention that she is in fantastic shape -- I am 36 and cannot sew without my neck hurting immediately. Eleanor puts me to shame.

You are finally getting it done! I am so impressed with Eleanor working that machine! I don't even go that fast! That fastness is a sign of a pro - my daughter does that, too. I still need to finish(no, start) my chairs. I don't feel too bad with you having that chair just draped for a year. My daughter and son-in-law are coming for Thanksgiving, so I now am motivated to get all that slipcovern' done! Enjoy! Mary Lou Yeah! You are finally getting it done!

Wow she looks fantastic for 90. I think your chair is going to turn out first class. Everyone loves to feel needed. Grandma Eleanor is a hoot! Wow she looks fantastic for 90.
