I made pincushions with the walnut shells for my other quilt friends and I now have one for myself it is wonderful . The scissors are not antique I purchased at hobby lobby. Thanks everyone for making me feel so good on my first swap

We were in Cocoa Beach and Ft. Pierce. It was unseasonably cool while we were there.
My GS is in the AF and was re-enlisting and wanted us to be there for the ceremony. He has a rather unique job in the AF as he is one of about 400 in his career field. He climbs towers to make sure equipment is working properly and wanted to be sworn in on a tower. The highest tower he has climbed has been 180 feet but will be climbing a 300 foot tower in the near future. He has travelled to Romania, Thailand, Mongolia, and Antarctic.

JoAnn, where in Florida where you this past weekend?

I have notification that all packages have been mailed. Yippee! Everyone should be getting theirs in a few days. I will be posting signups for the March swap on Sunday. The theme will be St. Patrick's Day or the color green. I thought April could be Spring, which would include Easter for those who would like that. Start planning!!!

OK. You were on the East Coast. I'm on the West Coast. Your GS does have a unique job. Good thing he isn't afraid of heights. :)

I would have loved to have met you if we had been near to your home!

He's not. He loves his job! It has do to with physics; wind, earth, fire and water. The equipment measures all those things all over the world...

Also is there a tutorial about making the beaded stilettos and beaded pins? I bought some of the turkey lacers and have lots of beds but haven't a clue how to make them. Went on You Tube but most of what I found was just showing the things that they made, not how to make them...
Thanks
