One of my friend's birthday is January 1--can you believe? But, we have a way of celebrating--we close out the old year by attending the ball drop in our neighborhood plaze--and then, if it isn't too cold, we have a birthday party minute after midnight on January 1--always fun to have cake and champage in the same hour
- It’s also time to work on my gifts for friends—since we ddidn’t meet in December, it gave me extra time to decide what to make.
- Since most of my friends are quilters, I decided on pincushions—who can’t use another pincushion?
I had handwoven fabric with handspun weft--no intended purpose--ah! I have an idea!
I had scrap pieces of wool fiber--not going to spin that stuff
and I had these milkware pieces from my mother's estate--wasn't going to use themandand no family member wanted them==been in
my pantry for years and no occassion to bring them out anyway.
So--I cut into my handwoven, handspun fabric to make circle, stuffed with the leftover wool bits, sewed it up and ta da--pincushions! Hope they like them.
Now, if only I could think of someway to use the milkware plates that came with the cups.
