Mom's Pin Cushion

This is the pin cushion that Lindsay made for Mom many years ago. Mom just loved that pin cushion and it was one of her most cherished gifts. Thanks Lindsay and when I use it I think of Mom and how she loved you. I'm proud to have you as a wonderful sister.

Yes...Lindsay is one very talented and dear sister. I have so much fun with her antiquing "Grin" even though Bob and John don't seem to relish our joy in it "Grin". We are two sisters on a mission when we shop!!!! The pin cushion is beautiful and I remember Mom living it. Thank you for posting Chicky and thank you Lindsay for being so special. Love Ginger

I hadn't been to the blogs for a while. Thanks for the pictures Vickie and the posts. Happy Birthday to Ester and yes, we did miss you. The snow pictures are great but I'm glad it quit. We still have some up here on the hill. Also, thanks for the memories of Mom. Love you, Dottie

Thanks Dottie and I want the snow to come back but I won't drive in it unless I just have to. I've been making some Christmas decorations and I used Moms pin cushion and made me think of her. I love when things like that take you back to a very good memory. Hugs to you...

Lindsay said - Vickie - I was so surprised and pleased to see the pin cushion again after all these years. I made it for your Mom 37 years ago after Bob and I were married. I gave it to her on Thanksgiving Day. Your Mom was a very dear lady and holds a special place in my heart and always will. It brings tears to my eyes just typing this. I am so glad you stil have it to remember her by. Thanks to all of you for such nice comments. I love you all and you all mean so much to me. Love, Lindsay

Lindsay when I posted this I was in tears. I mean it that she really loved your pin cushion and used it a lot. I can't believe it was 37 years that you made it. Time sure does fly and she truly loved you...
