In last week’s newsletter, I talked about the two sizes of bobbin boats that match the two sizes of bobbins (Masterpiece and Efina), stocked in our store. And also, that both sizes fit in Jacquie’s beautiful hand-crafted sewing boxes.

This week, our lucky winner, Lee, will get one of the smaller blue boats that hold the Masterpiece bobbins perfectly!

The ceremony marking Steve’s life was Tuesday, September 15. It was live streamed on Youtube and the video is there now. I thought that some of you who have seen Steve pop up over the years might be interested.

This was truly a celebration! Hawaiian shirts and colorful garments were encouraged along with smiles and good memories.

There were 5 speakers who shared memories of Steve—and some truly funny stories. His brother, Charles, came first. Then a former student, Hayley, followed by colleagues, Pete and George. Our son, Jeff, was the last speaker and he nailed it. Steve would have enjoyed it all so much. If you watch, I hope you smile a lot.

I can’t resist. This week’s winner, gigi4956 has to have this soft graphite pencil featuring my favorite, Goofy, and pencil guard with “mouse ears” on the tip! Just too good. (Click here to view all the Disney Blackwing products in stock in the store.)

This week’s winner, mman7025, will get the choice of one of the adhesive thimble types above – Dome or Dimple! Both of these types attach to your finger with a reusable adhesive pad and help to reduce sore fingers, while speeding up hand sewing. The choice is really a matter of personal preference. For more information about pros and cons of both, click here to go to the thimble page in Piece O’ Cake store and check out these, as well as other thimble options.
