Many of you know I love the wool block keepers my sister, Gayle, makes for me. She does such a great job sewing them and adding the finishing touches by hand stitching. The block keepers are made with real wool and are available on my website under “Made By Hand”. Gayle also makes the cute small needle keepers by hand.
Gayle recently sent me a picture of her “helper”. Now we know her secret of getting those keepers pressed.

While I was in Kansas City, I saw these wonderful little pin cushions that Candy Hargrove makes. She uses reproduction and antique salt sellers for the base. Too darn cute! I have one by my sewing area that I love. They are perfect to put along side your quilting supplies on a table or in your sewing box. You can order one from Candy at: cahquilter@kc.rr.com.

Don’t you just LOVE those little hand made sewing notions? I have a small collection of small pin cushions made by my students that I treasure.
Happy Stitching!
