I am a SS too. couple of years ago saw a back pack made from them at the Paducah quilt show and thought that was crazy. well I am crazy now too... 4 of us went this year and we all made vests to wear it was so much fun. one friend has a tote bag. now I want to make a tote bag and a name tag holder. since seeing the chichen pincushions think I will make some of them to give to people that come to my retreats...
