Glass Reveal #6 plus Bari J. Fabric – Watch on YouTube!

Another glass reveal video is up on YouTube. In preparation for our move back in 2022, I pulled several batches of glass and fabric and packed them together. My intention was to make the pincushions over the next few months…it has now been almost 2 years! I am determined to make these batches of pincushions. I realize now that the intensity and labor of making these pincushions is a joy but also a lot of work. It was fun opening up this box to find all of the beautiful glass and vessels along with Bari J.’s Eve fabric line by Art Gallery Fabrics. Below is the “reveal” and re-discovering of glass and fabric. Enjoy!

Also, at the beginning of the video I show a quilt I’m working on as I continue to learn about my Innova M24 Longarm quilting machine. I’m so happy to be able to use this powerful piece of equipment for myself and others in the near future.

Happy quilting and crafting! ▶︎ ▶︎ ▶︎

Glass Reveal #4 – Up on YouTube

Glass Reveal #4

I added another video! I’m learning something with every “production”. A bonus to making the videos is that I’m finally cataloging the glass that I have collected. I’m enjoying the process of looking at the glass, taking inventory, and beginning to use some of these pieces. I want the glass to be used and appreciated – not stored in a box where no one sees it.

YouTube Video Making a Salt Cellar Pincushion

I have been asked for many years to create a video of how a salt cellar pincushion is made. Some of the parts of this video are sped up, but all of the steps are still included within the video. I have a pattern on Etsy that has the details of making these little pincushions. Click HERE for the link or find the link at the top of the blog under Etsy Shop. This is a fun pincushion because of those rainbow gummy bears. They are all lined up and look like they are ready to dance. Making these little gems is so fun because you can complete a whole project in a short amount of time AND utilize what you have made. They also make great gifts! I enjoy making the pincushions and learned a lot while making this video for YouTube. I hope you enjoy the video.
