  1. The pincushion is so cute and perfect – a tiny little world. Where do you come up with your original ideas?

  2. It’s an amazing piece! I wish I could think of something to say that is original but words are not my forte!

    Um, did you get an email from me following up on our ‘discussion’ about online teaching?

  3. Ooh, I love this! It looks so soft and mossy—I want to live there too! And the french knots are a perfect little detail.

  4. I love the pin cushion too. But I want to comment on the blanket, which has a wonderful Gee’s Bend quality to it. Love that!

  5. this is the best, most perfect pincushion I’ve seen.
