Wow…there were lots of comments yesterday!!! I was decorating the house and my phone was constant little jingle every time someone posted a comment…so I’m glad there are so many of you reading the blog!!!
Couple of things…The cookie recipe is very moist…place the finished dough in a couple of big hunks and wrap in plastic wrap and chill..when your ready to roll them out…flour the surface, flour the pin, flour your hands and roll into a big ball to roll out…this is working more flour into the dough …it not a normal dough to start…that is why I think they are so good…
We also noticed the site was not letting you order the mats sometimes…saying it was no longer available or sold out…this is NOT the case…you can order up until Dec 31 on ALL items. So if you wanted to order the mats and couldn’t here is the link again OLFA MAT
Please read the whole post…some of you will ask questions and the answer is in the post! So if we do not answer you..read the post. I know we all only like to look at the pictures and all this text is…blah blah blah…I’ll make sure to have lots of pictures!!!
Also your comment may not show up right away…I have to approve some of them from time to time…I don’t know why this is…it might be a spam control thing..but I check my computer several times a day, unless I’m on some kind of mission.
I will post the Ginger Cookie recipe again…
Remember the HOLD option on every order if you want to accumulate and help us order ahead if we need to by the time this ends and we have to ship them to you.
Day 11….MAGNETIC PINBOWLS!
Do you know what a pinbowl is? It’s a 4″ metal bowl with a huge magnet on the bottom of it!!! Of coarse we can make them in many…many colors!!! Now I use them for my pins obviously…and they work awesome with our binding clips as well, and even a bobbin holder if you want an assortment of them! These are also the perfect gift for your quilting friends birthdays and whatever you need a gift for..this bowl and a set of shiny new fine pins or the cool multicolored binding clips are perfect!
My son, Jake is making them at the warehouse when he has any spare moments…He made 40 of them for the girls at the Home for the Holidays retreat in CA about a week ago and they all loved them!!! We also sold a bunch of them at both stores during the Primitive Christmas event…I know we didn’t tell anyone online because we weren’t organized before Primitive Christmas so we decided to save it for this promotion!!! Now I know you see a couple more colors here in this picture of Jake’s work station, but we have to limit to the 10 colors for now and we can add more later…Jake sands, primes and paints each bowl…he then adds the dots…so each pinbowl is handcrafted by hand just for our wonderful quilters!!! I have them everywhere…but please note: If you have a computerized machine…please keep it a safe distance away from the machine…I think you could possibly mess up your computer if they are kept by the machine…Don’t keep it there…there are plenty of other places where the pin bowls can live…by the ironing board, by the cutting table when your pinning big borders…and so on..I don’t have to worry as my JUKI is not computerized…but better to be safe than sorry…I don’t want you to mess up those expensive machines…
Now the price is $15 for one…$25 if you order 2 and $12.50 for any more thereafter…now the price will be not be right in your cart if you order more than one…but we will change it manually when we process to $12.50 per bowl, no worries…because you may want three different colors it will not compute 3 for $37.50…so bear with this please. Order your PINBOWLShere!
Jake is Jace’s (“little man”) Daddy…I love it when I get to watch Jace when Mommy has to help out where she used to work…Friday “little man” hung out all day with us at the studio…See how he was helping with the quilt we were building? Then some of Jace’s Christmas present came while he was there so we thought we should make sure he liked them before we gave them to him…He loved his new Teepee! I will not show you any more as I might have to save some to share later…
I know the days will fly by now that is is 12 days of needful things…this always makes the time fly!!! Time to cut out a new quilt!!! LB
The bowls are so cute, much nicer than the all metal one I have from the man store. They are also great if you have to work on your machine. The magnet holds all those little screws and parts you don’t want to lose.
Lisa – thanks for your 12 days of needful things. I learn a lot about some new products that I have not seen before and it’s nice to know that people find them useful and not a waste of hard earned money. Love the pin bowls and may have to add that on to my list of things that I need! Your grandson is precious and I see a future employee at your shop. Your training him well to love fabric!😄
Grandkids are just the best! I’m lucky to have mine close by, too. I love the pin bowls. So much cuter than the ones I’m using now. How wonderful that you and your son can help each other out like this!
I love the bowls! So cute! I can’t wait to go to a retreat with the CA store! I love it. I have introduced several friends to it by taking a little road trip to get there. I just got my Moda, row by row book with your pattern in it Lisa, and I love it. Jace is a cutie! Love the photos!
The pin bowls are so cute, but Jace is much, much cuter. I will be ordering one or two of the pin bowls. Love it that your family (son) is making them. I’m a small business supporter also.
I saw those at the shop during the Christmas event in CA. I had my hands on one and put it back. Bad, bad, bad. I hope Jace continues to make those little gems. Thank you.
Those bowls look handy to have around! Might have to watch out for sticky husband fingers tho – I can just imagine finding a set out in the barn….holding screws & such! Cute little guy, what a good helper! Best to get ’em started young, eh?
Glad to see Jace is getting a feel for fabric at an early age! Love the quilt he is helping with. Maybe he will have to paint a special bowl for his grandma!
Kay Brand had the best idea of using the bowls to hold screws and bolts from my Juki when I am changing feet.
I have my eye on the aqua bowl with polka dots. Tell your son he is talented like his mother!
I need six weeks of these! One for every room and in the house. I just purchased a long arm quilting machine and these are must for preventing those nasty spills right in the middle of pinning on your quilt
Love the polka dot bowls. Not only cute to look at, but so useful. Very innovative. Jace has really grown-and is so cute! I also love the snow falling on the screen. We don’t get snow where I live.
Kind of confused. When did the 12 needful things start? How many have there been? I have tried looking back past the 11th and I don’t see anything but it says day 11 and day 12?

How cute can they be? Love the colorful colors. I am trying to think of places I might need one. Baby is adorable and so at that cuddly age………….spoil all you can now as our “baby” is now ll. Not sure where the time went.
Thanks for the ginger cookie recipe and we also call our grandson “little Man” and as I said above he is ll. Wonder f he will be little man when he is 30?
I think these are great! I just go my 80 year old mother into quilting and I think she would love one too. I am a huge supporter of small family businesses, as I am part of one myself here in Michigan. Can’t believe how big your grandson is getting. Thanks for the wonderful products.
Those magnetic pin bowls are adorable…I could drop it and not have pins all over the floor! Jace is pretty adorable too, and only Grandma would let you try out your presents before Christmas!!!
Couldn’t decide on just one pin bowl as the colors are so pretty. So I ordered three. I’ve ordered both days of needful things, can’t wait to see what else I may need!
Love the pin bowls and the fact that they are hand made.. Your son is very talented, just like his mom!! Jace is such a cutie. Enjoy every moment that you can with him. Before long he will be all grown up just like my three wonderful granddaughters.
Your “little Man” is adorable. He will have many happy hours in his new tepee. The homemade bowls are a fantastic idea. Love the colors and polka dots.
I just LOVE the pin bowls but deciding which colors are my favorite will be difficult. Jace is such a cutie! What fun to have the grands learning your trade at an early age.
Little Jace’s first Christmas. So cute. – Jake – awesome job on the magnetic pinkeepers. never thought about using for bobbins. great idea. So although i already have a few I need some more – 🙂
they are awesome
I saw those little pin bowls last weekend when I visited your shop. What a great idea! I had such a good time looking at all your patterns, your fabrics, and all the nifty gadgets. The little clothes pins are so handy. I wanted to buy one of everything, but I had to hold back after I started adding up my total purchase! Your grandson is so cute. He will be so much fun at Christmas. Enjoy….they grow up so fast.
What an awesome Tepee for little man now be honest did you get in there with him??? I would! Love the ideas of the bowls too! Yay on you’re going to post the Ginger cookie recipe again, I’m clueless as to where I saved it 🙂
Love the pin bowls — going to have a really hard time deciding which colors I want. And I’d love to find a tepee like that for my little guys to play in — how fun is that?!!
What a GREAT feature for a quilter to have. No more lost pins because the power field in the bowl will keep all one’s pins together! The variety of colors would go with any decor. I must have this needful!
Love everything about this post, love the pics of Jace at work with you guys, makes your first post about small business even more meaningful. What a very special treat for you!
Oh are these cute! Love all the colors. How special that they are hand painted by your son. What a cutie in his teepee. We have one for our 10 year old and he loves his! Thanks for all of the creativity you share with us. It really is amazing to have connection to someone as talented as you. K-
