Show & Tell… Wool Pincushion in a Baby Cup!

Rebecca Wolf wrote a few days ago to share this happiness…

Hi Piece O’ Cake! I viewed the video on making pincushions out of any type of vessel with rolled wool….I didn’t know one video would send me searching through the house for pin cushion containers, but it did. Found this sterling baby cup that was my mother in laws, so circa 1924. I polished it up and what a delight to make this pincushion. It is fitting since my mother-in-law was an amazing quilter. I think she would approve. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m sure she would love this!!! Thank you for sharing it with all of us :-). If you missed it, here’s a video about rolling felted wool into pin cushions:

Wednesday Giveaway – Bird Month (Week 3)!

Bird Week Giveaway #3 is a songbird scissor charm!

Scissor charms add a touch of whimsy to your scissor and make it easier to identify which one is yours. But that’s only incidental to their real purpose. You can get more detail by clicking here to go to the pertinent page in Pieceocake.com website. But, briefly, attaching a scissor charm to the correct finger grip makes sure that the serrated blade is on top of the fabric and the smooth one is on the bottom. This helps the fabric you’re cutting glide smoothly, not snagging on the serrations.

We have a wide variety of colors and attached “charms” in stock. Reds, blues, purples, greens and yellows. The little metal charms come in the form of sewing machines, buttons, thimbles, scissors, “I Love Quilting” plaques, etc. This week’s lucky winner is Deborah Moyes!

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!
