I found this website with some links to great pincushion patterns. They're all free! I love the Hexie-caddy and the patchwork pincushions. :)

Jesus ATC







My pen pal is Japanese so I made a Jesus ATC for her. Hand drawn with colored pencils.
Jesus is written as:

My Ribbon Organization

I bought some of these 4x6 craft baggies at walmart.

They can fit two spools of ribbon.

I also bought some 3x5 ones.

For the left over pieces of ribbon, I take a small strip of white computer paper, fold the ribbon and then fold the strip of paper over it and staple it together.

Then put it in a small bag or sometimes a bigger one, depending on how much ribbon there is.

Then I clip the baggies onto my clip it up. I do this with lots of crafting supplies and eventually most of them will make it into baggies and onto the clip it up. Lol. I need to get some 5x7 baggies for the bigger ribbon. :)

I bought the clip it up on amazon.com. They have all different sized ones. I think mine is the mini 10x10.

Happy crafting and organizing!

It's finally finished. :)

I laid the batting down then the backing fabric face up and the quilt top face down and pinned it together. Then I trimmed the batting. Then sewed around, leaving a small part open so I could turn it inside right. (the corners should be sewn across at an angle).

Flipped it inside right and voile.

Now hand sew the opening shut. I needed to take a trip to Joann's to buy brown thread.

Then I sewed a border all the way around to hold all the layers in place. And now it's finally finished! Yaaayyy! (Now I just have to make my curtains. Heehee.)
