Hi!
I just found your Website and I am anxious to try out some of your patterns. My granddaughter married in December, 2010 and I want to get started making things for a baby. They say they don’t want to get pregnant for another five years, but we will see. I may not be around in five years so I want to make things for my first great-grandchild. My daughter died in 1992 of breast cancer. She was great at all crafts
I loved the porcupine pincushion but the instructins for making it are no longer available. I was able to get the sides but not the middle part (the part that makes it stand up and I have no idea how to make that. My daughter (my granddaughter’s Mother) died in 1992 of breast cancer. My granddaughter was 7 when her Mother died and my grandson was 4 1/2. She was great at all crafts and she would have loved to make things for her granddaughter. I want to stand in the gap as much as I can.
My e-mail address is [email protected]
Thank you very much.
Wanda
