THINK CHOCOLATE



Thinking isn't doing or is it? I've gained a few pounds while stitching up these two Hearts & Flowers pillows. One is in soft colors with a sun washed background and the other is in deeper colors with a faded brown background. I've included both color options on the back of the pattern. The finished pillow, pattern , and thread kit of your choice are available on www.etsy.com/shop/thecooperscottage. Keep on punchin!

Here are a couple of girl scouts learning how to spin. The event was held at the Wisconsin Quilt Museum last Saturday. There will be 2 more workshops February 11th and March 10th. I've recolored HEARTS AND FLOWERS as soon as the mini pillows are done (waiting for the wool to arrive) pillows and patterns will be posted on my esty store. FOUR SQUARE HEARTS is in the works and then it's on to bunnies and chicks. Keep on punching.

100 YEARS AND COUNTING...













I spent the weekend at the Wisconsin Quilt and Fiber Museum and had to share these photos! What fun, I punched all afternoon and signed up girls and their leaders for a punch needle pin class next week. I'm also filling in for one of the spinners on Saturday. That should be something, I've not done drop spindle for several years and I don't think it's like riding a bicycle! What ever, I'll just have another thin mint. Did I mention there was tea and girl scout cookies. Hope to have bunnies to post soon. Keep on punchin.
