“The projects in the book are really cute and follow a season/special occasions theme. There’s something for each month, two projects for birthdays and a few extra . . . I think the book is worth it just for the cute little designs for the pincushions . . . If you’re someone who has friends that would enjoy a little quick gift, these are so perfect. The ‘Pinkeep’ I adore. The ‘Courage’ one would be great if you know anyone dealing with cancer or other hard life events.” —Jo’s Country Junction
