It's a Beautiful Day! Give Away Reminder!!

Good Day! It's a Beautiful Day outside today...I hope I have the umph to get my gardening done early and then head down were it is cool in my sewing room this afternoon. I have been planning a few new pin cushions for an EPP workshop in the future...

 

And getting ready for my little Roadtrip to Chicago for the Quilt Festival next week! Is anyone out there going to Chicago for the show? I'd love to meet up if so!

The week after that, I'll be vending in Columbus, OH at the NQA Show. So next week I'll be gathering everything but the kitchen sink to take along. I have to make room for two daughters to make the trip with me. I sure hope we fit!

Today I plan on cutting those 100 - 5" squares to celebrate my 100th post ! If you have not done so already Please leave a comment on the last post, about the giveaway, and sign up to be a part of the fun! I'd like to have all of my followers join in...even those who follow by email... You can leave a comment also! Be sure to tell me which post you've enjoyed the most from the past year. If you share my like about the APQ radio interview with Pat Sloan, you get an extra chance!

Have a great day!

Take care,

Missie

Pin Keep Swap!

This looked like such fun, I couldn't resist joining in! There's room for more if you want to join in too!

Ravenwood Whimzies is hosting this fun swap...check it out by clicking HERE!

Yesterday at the Appliqué Group, one of the girls brought her collection of pin cushions! It was wonderful to see all of her goodies. She brought at least 50 to show us...antiques, newly made, gifts from friends. She has quite a collection! When we went to lunch afterwards, she shared two of them as a little gift for me. So special! As she builds her collection in front of me, I have wanted to start my own collection. No time though! Each pin cushion I make seems to be gifted to someone when I need a little gift. So, with her gift to me, along with Michelle's gift of the pin cushion and bunny scissors a month or so ago, my collection has officially begun! I think as I make a pin cushion in the future, I will make two if possible...one for me and one for a future gift! That's the plan anyway...we'll see how well I actually do! Haha!

These are the two pin cushions she gave to me yesterday. She made the wool pin keep and the other is an antique. Thanks Julee!

 

And thanks again Michelle! My collection is on it's way!

Take care,

Missie
