Tuffets

Be Aware, Be Thankful

1. Alone time

2. Silence

3. Happy thoughts

Got my December Schnibbles done! These were fun to make and easy since I had lots of trimming pieces around from previous projects!

I had heard how wonderful crushed walnuts are for stuffing the cushions, so I bought a bag (at Petco) and now I'm set for many, many, many, many more! It's a big bag!

Notice the darling strawberry pin? That is from Melissa of Cornbread and Beans Quilting who hostessed the Civil War signature swap. I love it!

Trisha said...: You are cruisin' through the Schnibbles and they all look great. Cute pincushions. I bought a big bag of those walnut shells too. They are pretty cool but I probably won't use the whole bag in my lifetime.; 2/26/10, 11:03 PM

Quilts and Cats said...: Love your tuffets! It's always gratifying to finish a tiny piece because they can be hard to handle. I love to make pincushions, and I use clumping kitty litter such as Fresh Step. It doesn't clump in the cushion, and it wicks away any moisture on needles and pins.; 2/27/10, 5:03 AM

Denise :) said...: So cute and *so* very tiny! I'm glad someone qualified that it was crushed walnut shells or this [born] blonde girl would have continued to think you were using the crushed nutmeats; I was a little perplexed. :) I like your thankful list today . . . they all go hand-in-hand.; 2/27/10, 7:14 AM
