Here’s why the sewing room door must be firmly shut if I’m not in there to supervise a certain kitten. She’s really a magpie in disguise and likes to steal pins from the pincushion and I’m afraid she’ll try to eat them. I tried sewing these blocks together with and without pins and as you can see, the points line up much better with pins. The top went together fairly quickly so it won’t be long before I strike another task off my todo list for holiday gift sewing.
