I was on Karen's "Journey of a Quilter" where she shared Heirloom Tomato pincushions that she and her friend made. She in turn was inspired by Kaaren's, "Painted Quilter", tutorial. Visit both. I bought this silk pincushion in China just 3 years ago. I remember my mother and grandmothers having these from the 30's/40's, probably from Chinatown, LA. I hadn't seen them since I was a girl so of course I had to buy one.
Hi. I'm Janet, a retired home economics and art teacher of 32 years. I'm a wife of 45 years, mother of 2 married boys, a grandmother to 2 boys and 2 girls, an aunt to my sister's 3 girls and their 7 children. I have always loved sewing and doing art and now I have combined these talents with quilting. I hope you find my designs and quilts an inspiration and my hints helpful.
