No. We are a secret society of bag ladies!

Maybe we should do a swap? I'll make one for you and you make one for me?

Gismo bags... yummy!

I hadn't looked it - binding doesn't really give me a problem for some reason. It's the FMQ that challenges me.

Oh - and my fetish is pin cushions! I used to belong to a pin cushion of the month club, but had to cancel my membership - I wasn't getting around to making them in a timely manner. Love, love pin cushions.

Awesome! I like the name -- I'm proud to be a Bag Lady!

Oh, shoot, it would take a while for me to practice enough to make anything that somebody else would want. I love the idea, though.

Hmmm - where did you find those pewter pin cushions Jennifer?

I organized a small group (14) to go on a mini-retreat this past January. I made everyone a cupcake pin cushion. Well, we all had such a good time, that we're going again next March (& again in January of 2011), so I'm looking for a fairly simple, but different looking pin cushion or needle holder pattern that I can make up for everyone. Not that anyone expects anything, but it is kind of fun to have a little treat on everyone's table when they arrive.
