Hi Susan are you joining in the month? We've missed you.

Quilty-Louise

I have discovered so many fabrics in my stash that I want to
use for my pincushion, now to narrow down the choice and figure
out a pattern.

I don't want to keep doing the same thing. Just don't everyone
thinking "oh look another box" so I am trying to find a different
pattern.

I have such a heavy heart. It has been over a year since I was in my favorite quilt shop. It is just about an hour away, but not in a direction I need to travel for any other reason. Anyway, when I got there, I was greeted by a lady who I quickly figured was the owner's daughter. Turns out, her mom had a brain aneurysm about a year ago & has been in various rehab/nursing homes ever since. Bonnie is such a talented quilter & her eye for color is the best I've ever seen. Her daughter has been wondering about getting a free-standing embroidery hoop to see if her mom can at least embroider. I will make an extra pincushion & mail it to the shop so she can have one. I found some beautiful fabrics & picked-up a few for pincushions & for the Christmas ornament swap (I didn't miss it, did I?). I always feel sad when I know someone with great talent can no longer use their talent because of health. Aaah, the circle of life...

that is so sweet of you to make her a pin cushion.
Please show us a picture of what you make for her.
