R, that's going to be beautiful! I love all the embroidery, and can't wait to see the construction and reveal pics!

Carla Burke wrote,

I can't recall what the strawberry was filled with (do you know?), but I do remember liking the result of stabbing dirty, dull, lightly rusty points into it. I'd love a pin cushion with those qualities! Do you know where to find that filling?



The filling is called emery sand. You can find it online by searching for "emery sand for pincushions."

I agree with Carla about how well it works to restore and care for needles!

I may just have to make something like this.  Now where did I see those walnut shells from the squirrels yesterday?

 
snakes are really good at eating slugs. And you wouldn't think it, but so are tiny ads:
