Ouch...Irishrose2...hope you are on coming along okay.
Just finished putting together pin cushion kits for our guild members. A couple of gals have extra walnut shells so they are donating the fill. Believe it or not the 27 kits equal more than 1 1/2 yards of scrap fabric. I constructed the top of the pc using this pattern. All the members have to do is sew around it, turn, fill and stitch it closed.
