I am also working on all the blocks of my last border to my own medallion quilt as you can see some here on my antique embroidery table. But look just a little closer...
A few weeks ago, I received a recent eBay win in the mail. I got this wonderful flower frog. It is a perfect and fun way to display some of my antique and reproduction scissor collection. I had them sitting in my wall cupboard up to now and even with the glass shelves, they just did not show up well. A flower frog was the answer. It is fun to use old items for a new function. Do you have any fun ideas for using vintage things?
I hope you all have a creative weekend. Summer is a great time to sit in the garden with your stitching or quilting.

What a lovely way to display/keep your scissors.
Okay - now I HAVE to have a flower frog for my scissors! that is just such a wonderful idea!
What a clever idea! I love it!
Well Miss Heidi, I think you do not need any more sissors. Holy cow. I can't believe they don't all have fobs hanging from them. LOL. Good luck on your border, it will be quilt night again before you know it.
Love you, Mom
I spotted that right away when I saw the photo - wonderful idea, and what a great collection of snippers you have! Seeing your beautiful little table and work, makes me want to pick up my hand piecing again!
But I guess we'll save that for next week when we reveal our UFO's!
hugs!

Heidi, I always enjoy your posts so much, and your pictures are always inspiring. I've never heard of this froggy thing, but it looks amazing, with your scissor collection in it!

Now that's a great way to display scissors - a wonderful re-use of something meant for a different purpose.
