Little House makes these grips. There are two medium (pink) or two large (blue) per package. Use one or two on your fingertips to help you grip and pull the needle through the cloth. If you have arthritis or other issues that make it hard to handle the needle, these might help a lot. (If you are allergic to rubber, these are not the grips for you.) Leave a comment/reply on this blog post to enter the drawing. Please include your choice of the medium or large size.

Joan made an Easter Chicken!

Are you ready for a chuckle!!   Joan made another chicken, this time for her sister—for Easter and it’s a chicken/bunny! Instead of grandma or something more conventional, she is called Bunny by her grandson. Hence, the bunny ears!!   Joan says her sister is going to love it… of course she will ! Joan’s chicken is wearing a rabbit-ear headband. Isn’t that inventive? And, you know what? There could be other headbands… reindeer antlers, hearts, shamrocks, and many more. Joan, feel free to ignore these ideas and thank you for sharing your Easter chicken/bunny ..read more

Spring Projecting: Refinish the dining room table!
Piece O Cake Blog
by Becky Goldsmith
2w ago
Years ago, Steve built our dining room table from old 2″ x 6″ tongue-and-groove pine flooring that came from a hangar at Love Field in Dallas. I wanted a table I could baste on and not feel bad if the finish got marred and it’s been perfect! However, the stain and polyurethane on the table top has gotten gummy over time. Our friend Jacquie (who makes the Hand Crafted Sewing Boxes) thinks the oil in the pine reacted with finish. After 3 years of wishing someone would fix it, I realized I was the someone. First, I stripped the table top (the legs are fine) with a paint and varnish removing gel ..read more

Wednesday Giveaway – Dritz Pins!

Dritz Applique pins are nickel plated and will help position and hold appliques. Their short length allows for close pinning of small appliques. But I like to use them with sequins like this…place a small bead, then a sequin (or 2) on a pin and stick the pin in a foam ball (or egg for Easter decorations).  If you’re interested, you can shop our sequins by clicking here. I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Crochet is my in-between project…

3w ago
I crochet in between projects or when I am need handwork without needles and pins. I am a mostly self-taught crocheter and can follow complex patterns but I am always willing to learn something new so I happily signed up for the Beginner Crochet Workshop by Shannon Roudhán and Jason Bowlsby on Creative Spark. What a great class!!!! It is a short, affordable class that is good for all skill levels. I learned several things that I didn’t know I didn’t know . The class projects are easy and an excellent way to practice what you learn. Shannon and Jason also have this book that I don’t own ..read more

Keeping things organized when you’re working on a project is so important. But you also need things to be easy to see and pick up. This week’s giveaway (going to Velikova!) does both – Dritz’s Bobbin Boat! The Bobbin Boat keeps up to 12 average-sized bobbins neat and tidy. In fact, it holds them so securely that I use the point of my scissors to pop them out. I love it! (We also sell these in sets of three, because if one bobbin boat is good, three is that much better!) I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, b ..read more

Cynthia Helton sent photos of this quilt that her mom, Shirley Ray Hatley Alford, started in 1995. Shirley passed away in July, 2007. Cynthia, thank you for sharing her quilt with us, I know you all must treasure it. I remember Shirley! She was in my North Pole class at Sharon’s Quilt Depot way back in 1995 when the book, A Sampling of Santas, was new. Shirley was a lovely woman and I have a smile on my face when I remember her. This is excerpted from the very well-written documentation patch: Shirley hand appliqued the blocks and machine pieced them together. As her health began to decline ..read more
