Craft of the Week - Chicken Little Pincushion

This cute little chicken pin cushion was created using some leftover felted wool sweater pieces. She sits on a vintage look lace nest and is secured atop a solid wood pedestal. It's a great way to use up all those scraps of wool, although fabric scraps would work well also.

This design is the creation of Janet Metzger of Warrenton, Va. She has the privledge of working in her home studio every day. Her dear husband created the studio for her. She has two sons that she adores. She gets to watch the sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains every evening.

Janet maintains a loveley blog in which she takes us through many of her projects and shares the creative process. Her blog can be reached by going to the following link:
