I had my good buddy Lisa for my partner on this happy mail swap. Among her wishes were notecards and a pin cushion. I made the pincushion by filled a small mason jar with sand and then stuffed a pin cushion into it. I covered that with a piece of purple butterfly-pattern material - purple and butterflies are her fave - and then added lace a pearls with hot glue. The decoration glued on the front is an earring costume jewelry earring, pulled apart. I hope she gets alot of use out of it, and thinks of me as she uses it!
Then I made her some note cards - and used my wonderful new little Janome mini-sew to zig zag stitch on them. To hold the note cards, I took a cigar box and folded some TH paper to make little compartments to hold the cards, a pen, and some stamps. I tied it all up with purple butterflies cut with my Silhouette.
Enjoy Lisa!
