If you're looking for a perfect Mother's Day gift, check out Chippingstone Cottage, my sister-in-law's website showcasing her fabulous hand crafted ceramic pincushions and clocks. Here's how she describes her own work:
My pottery is hand crafted in Vermont. Each piece is individually created and artfully decorated; therefore, no two are exactly alike.
The crafting of the pincushions has drawn upon both of my long-term interests; ceramics and the textile arts. The base is hand thrown from a white stoneware clay followed by decoration and glazing. The cushion is made from 100 % cotton fabric, lined with muslin and firmly stuffed with virgin Vermont wool. This pincushion may be displayed wherever you enjoy sewing.
I was lucky enough to receive one of her pincushions as a gift, so I know first hand the quality and artistry involved in everything that she does.
And while you're there, be sure to check out the free whole wheat bagel recipe she has posted on her website. I tried it out recently. Its a simple recipe, and the bagels are delicious.
