Basket of Memories

Basket of Memories is one of the Reward of Merit pincushion series and is copyright 2011. It was designed by Barb Adams and is the one shown on the Saltbox Stitcher's Floss Tube video done as a tribute to Barb. It is apparently Out of Print as none of the three distributors lists it as available and shops are out of it. Carol used the alphabet and numbers from the Garden Club series to add Barb Adams 1951-2021 on the back of her stitched piece. NOTE: This one is included in the book, A Heart Remembers released at the 2022 Nashville Market.
