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. :)

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.

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!

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!
