Women of the 18th & 19 century used chatelaines & Make-do pincushions to keep their sewing tools handy.  So in celebration of having a second row done on my Civil War Diary Quilt done I made a Make-do pincushion and put it on an old flower vase filled with Grandma Eva's buttons for myself and a chatelaine for a give-away!

You could win this adorable bluebird Chatelaine
and a set of three fat quarters.

  9. Congratulations on finishing your second row!!

    I've had the CWDQ book and cd for a couple of years but didn't start it. Recently, I decided this was going to be the year for me to do it and I found your blog. Thank you for your CW Saturdays, they've been very helpful to me.

    I've been quilting since 1994; my enthusiasm has waxed and waned but it's never disappeared; I think, in part, because quilters are such great people.
