smooch A Sentimental S&S~
Actually, another re-upholster and show -- kinda! Sophie was out digging through the garage again (far, far too much stuff is still in totes and boxes out there and she has to go out a couple of times a week and bring new stuff in. Like we need more STUFF.) Anywho, I spied this pin cushion in a tote. It was my Great Grandma's. I'm not sure why I never used it, but I decided to bring it in and spiff it up a little. Notice that it's missing one peg???

Before~


After~ The hole where the missing dowel used to be is perfect for my thread shipping scissors! YIPEEE!!!


TFL! I am so excited to have this as a daily reminder of Great Grandma. She is very much missed in my family and although I am very blessed to have many things of hers, I think this is my most cherished. Now I'm just kicking myself for not using it sooner!

I've never seen a pin cushion like that before. It looks very neat!

Gotta love those special family heirlooms. I have a number of my Grammie's things and I treasure them. Maybe someday you can pass it onto Sophie.

Meagan, That is a neat S&S. Tugs at my heartstrings. You did a great job fixing it up. What a great memento to see and use

Thanks mamas. I have to keep coming back to this thread and looking at it. Cause, you know what's sad?... If I were in my sewing room, sewing LIKE I SHOULD BE, I coudl just look at it there. I need to break out of this sewing rut I'm in. That e/w challenge really wore me out! LOL

Thats very pretty. There is something about preserving the past and honoring where your sewing genes came from!

What a beautiful piece

Wow, don't you just love it when you make finds like that? I would love to go through my grandmother's attic one day.
