I don't need that many so I am going to donate the excess to the local quilt show boutique. They have asked for a suggested price. My response is that whatever price you put on it, it's not enough. I have been working on these for months. They are all hand sewn and take a long time to finish. If you saw this at the boutique, how much would you be willing to pay for one?
My brother in law makes them - gorgeous. I had him make one for my mother for Christmas one year and it has a sweet little lid with a knob on it. I had him print "Puzels". Puzels are strands of thread from anywhere you are sewing. It is pronounced poozels. German extraction - Old German. I am fourth generation using that word for the little threads! Edie
