Today I finished up the Just Nan grow! pin cushion for the facebook smalls spring challenge. Here it is! The finishing was harder than the tin actually! I was concerned about being able to sew it in a circle without it being lumpy. That part actually went fine. But when I turned it, I didn’t leave a big enough opening […]
I did it! I have it ready to post on the day it’s due over at Stitching Lotus‘s 2017 Smalls SAL! Thanks for hosting, Heather! Here’s my small: It is Stoneware Bunny by Priscilla’s Pocket.

I will pull out Random Thoughts tonight. I will put in the lace when I’ve made some progress on RT. Here is Heirloom Nativity so […]
