Happy Friday! Just popping in to sing praises for the latest issue of Making Magazine<\/a>: DOTS!\u00a0It’s been so fun contributing to this gorgeous, gorgeous publication, and Carrie and her team at Making are top notch.<\/p>\n

My project for the DOTS issue is a diminutive Sashiko-embroidered pin cushion inspired by a meditation pillow. Form, function and Ommmmm — doesn’t get better than that, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I sewed several iterations to get the project to match up with my mental picture, so my little sewing area is fully stocked with many, many versions of this pin cushion. Rather than add more to my already robust collection, I’m wondering if anyone would like one of these charmers?\u00a0I wish I could also include a copy of the magazine, but alas, I have just the one copy and you will have a hard time prying it from me, I love it so. It’s filled with beautifully well-rounded (the theme is, after all, dots)\u00a0sewing, baking, knitting and even ceramic projects. And that cover!! The texture of the shibori-dyed textile comes through so realistically, I rubbed the\u00a0cover to see if was in fact made out of fabric. To subscribe to Making magazine, check it out\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’d like a meditative pin cushion, please leave any comment, though I’d love to know what your favorite calming and restorative activity is. The giveaway will be open until next Friday, May 26th and I’ll select three winners at the end of the day. International folks are always welcome, of course. Good luck!!<\/p>\n

Have a relaxing weekend, all!<\/p>\n
