My maniquin and H/made card as a "just because" gift for Meg. The base is a pepper grinder cut down. A joy to make. :)

You did so well, Pauline. Glad to have been able to offer a little assistance in the finding :) They came from PNW if anyone else is interested: http://pnw-embroidery.com/freesample.aspx
Like your mannequin theme and the beading around the bottom. Nice just because gift.
Really excellent... she probably knows now if she did not! Surprise! Hugs! christine
What a pretty gift. I have been going to yard sales to find the glass candlesticks to put the pin cushion on because I want to make these as Christmas gifts. You're a genius - a pepper grinder- I will have to look for them now at yard sales. Thank you for sharing.
Pepper grinder!! Terrific. I would have never thought of that. I love the vintage look of the fabric, too. Nice job.

Perfect love the grinder idea and did awesome job with the maniquin. Love, the card front. "Perfect Gift"
Very cute. Like the pepper gringer base. Will have to remember that when I make more. I have made 6. Need to make more.
What a great idea with the pepper shaker!
I also had the same idea with the designs I got from PNW I will make a set of cards from the free designs. Would make a great gift for sewing friends!

Pauline, this is a wonderful gift - you did a great job with both the card and the pin cushion.
I finally found the post.
I can't tell you all how precious is this gift Polly made for me. I will treasure it always but I can't bring myself to stick pins in it, I may make a feather boa to hang around her neck, or maybe a crystal necklace.
And wasn't it funny, that I also said the same words to you, as you wrote in my lovely card....
"Just Because" Love you girlfriend. MWA!
