When you've crafted your blog, somewhere around September 14, don't forget to add the link to your actual post (by clicking on its title within the post and then copying the URL which this generates) to Mr Linky, and then leave a comment below. Please link back to this Sepia Saturday page, and there is a mini-banner to add too if you choose.
Make sure there are no loose threads by visiting as many other contributors as you can. Please make an effort to leave a comment, however small, as a sign of appreciation; we Sepians thrive on comments, and being a friendly group we will try to return the favour.
Now, before you open your workbasket take a quick look at the upcoming posts, so that you can keep them in mind whilst sorting through the albums. Enjoy your week.

195. Today will be International Day of Peace. Sepians can do their bit by highlighting it in their blogs. Activities around the world will include; ceremonies, prayers, choirs, tree planting, art exhibitions, lighting candles, peace walks. Your response could be one of these from the past, historical or personal.
196. This 1935 Insurance ad has plenty of possibilities to theme; the large bed , small boy, quilt, doctor's bag, toys. Take your pick.

Sorry to be a bit off topic this week. I even missed the anniversary of the storm that I was commemorating. I'm anxiously awaiting everyone else's posts.
This week I have some advertising tradecards instead of postcards.
A photograph of my mother sewing a hem while my father pursues his cinema studies in Los Angeles, 1944.
My wife features this week, but I'm not meant to advertise the fact.
I went with the same type of hairdo that the lady who is sewing has. It is an interesting story of one of the first 10 woman lawyers in Canada who just happens to come from my hometown!!
There's a crochet piece in my nook; serves as a shield between something new and something new.

Women gathered together.
A couple short anecdotes about sewing.
Tried to find one of sewing or flags - no success, so have gone with a dress and a hair do - on the Dutch side!
No flags, no sewing, but the subject of my photo is concentrating on her book - like the flag sewer, she is not looking at the camera:-)
Kids holding a flag in New Jersey, here. I'm headed to vacation so will be back to visit on Monday & next week. Have a good one, everybody!
She who dies with the most fabric wins!
A stitch in time and a common thread running through this post.
I am SO on theme this week, it's amazing, and for a change, not that musical.
A flag, young and old, but not sepia.
Not sewing but still handcrafting.
You're going to take a wild ride with my post. lol
Barely made it
through the eye of the needle...

I;m still learning things about my own Australian flag.
I can't offer sewing, but I can offer flags.
Initially it was going to be about fabric but then diverged to be about a hanky.
Being from Ballarat I had to talk about the Eureka flag - said to be the most significant European textile in Australia. Doesn't directly connect with my family but was of significance to those mining for gold in Victoria at the time which certainly included our family's forebears.
How about Sew Much Fabric, Sew Little Time?
I am back. I really miss blogging on here and will try harder.
No women sewing, but a post about a woman who sewed.
Completely off-topic from me this week
No women sewing ..... But I do have taperstry!
