I have been fighting the flu in our house over the few weeks and just as we were getting over the flu a cold slipped in and I had to take 2 of the boys back to the Dr. for ear infections and fevers. So far I have been lucky to not catch the cold...but the flu was overwhelming. So maybe we are now on the mend from all of this and I can get back to what I love ..(not that I don't love my kids) quilting!!!!
Yesterday I found a great pin cushion patternhttp://barij.typepad.com/my_weblog/files/pin20cushion20tutorial.pdf on the Internet and had to make it. I just love it!! It brought back a lot of great memories of when I was about 8 or 9 years old and in 4-H. I had to make a pin cushion as a project and my mother brought me to my Grandmothers house for help. She was a very talented seamstress and I learned so much from her during my childhood. I held onto that pin cushion for many years...then it just disapeard. I loved those times with my Grandmother and miss her dearly.
