My new favorite team! You are both lovely and entertaining and educational, all at the same time. I feel so happy watching you. Thank you!

[@aew6645]

I used to work in a dementia unit and one of the residents would make these....her daughter would cut them out and she would do the stitching. They turned out perfect every time. In the end, they were put into a quilt for each of her grandchildren❤ I enjoyed this video thoroughly 😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That is a beautiful story!

[@seoulgirlbruck8458]

The tomatoes are so cute but Dawn is even cuter!!! Is everyone that works at AIS so enthusiastic and cheerful????????? And loved seeing Peter make something new!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Dawn is the cutest! I don't think we have any sticks in the mud. Everyone loves working here. I enjoyed making something new too.

[@Belladonnacreative]

So cute!!!! Never thought I would want to make a pincushion, but now I am considering the possibility. Great job, Dawn and Peter. ❤

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Oh you have got to make a pincushion. I have only made two this being my second. There is nothing more rewarding using pins from the pin cushion that you made.

[@deannatobias9401]

Oh , I thought this would be ridiculously hard for my clumsy fingers! It looks so fun. I must make about a basket full. Dawn and Peter, you never disappoint!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@deeakins4649]

Fun! I’ve made a yo-yo throw and a window balance and a very long table topper. Now to sew tomatoes! I’m excited for an easy project!

[@scottydog6539]

Great job!!!! Don’t stay away too long Dawn. You and Peter work nicely together. Thank you. A great team. Love you

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you! Will do!

[@cindybenoit3452]

This looks fun! Dawn and Peter you are a joy ❤

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you so much!

[@amyohl5037]

You are very entertaining ❤😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Yes, Dawn is very good at entertaining!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I love hearing the history of the tomato pin cushions. I also like that you had Peter there trying it and making it with you. I think its great seeing someone make it, that hasn't done it before. I was cross stitching while I was watching it, and I am making ugly knots every time I start a new thread. 😊 When I know that it is going to be stuffed, I don't worry about having knots. I am making a drum with a pattern from Notforgotten Farm.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Your stitching is very beautiful. Glad you got to get some stichy time in. I enjoyed making the project with Dawn.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

@@alwaysinstitches5388 thanks Peter. I decided not to make it into a drum, but I am going to frame it instead, so now I have to put some warm and natural behind it, so the knots don't show through.

[@robinsnest7627]

I love history and I did not know that about the tomato or that the needles could be sharpened. Thank you for sharing and for the entertainment. Nice to meet you both. A KZbinr gave me a channel to watch and then you popped up. I have a tart tin I mY convert to a pin cushion. Have a wonderful day!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You are so welcome! We are so happy you are here!

[@debbiebraatz1919]

SMILE Peter!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I thought I did. I am smiling in the cover photo.

[@dianajohnson5933]

Thank you, Peter and Dawn Cornell for such a fun video. I am so glad I got to attend your class at AIS.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I saw you in Dawn's class. I am so happy you got to come to the store and stitch with Dawn.

[@kimturner8488]

Thank you for showing us how to make these fabulous tomatoes and the history lesson. My mom has a very very old tomato with a strawberry hanging from it, now I want to see what is in her strawberry.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Antique pincushions are so much fun!

[@Auntie7024]

So much fun! I love this project and the story about tomatoes. The jar of tomatoes is adorable. Love this video. ❤😊

[@donnasarver1548]

Love you guys together always good for a laugh, and the amount of knowledge is great.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Seeing her jar makes me want to make a jar of my own too.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@sewhapi2347]

Hey Guys , Im gonna make a bunch! I want mine in a jar. Love it Thank you❤

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That is going to be so fun! I hope to see pictures of your progress! They are addicting for sure.

[@sherylwright9584]

Ove seeing you, Dawn.❤

[@debbieflaugh4332]

Wow. You and Peter done a super job. It looks like sooo much fun. Enjoyed the pictures afterwards. You are so very talented guys. I learned a lot about tomatoes.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! Glad that your enjoyed watching! Btw I resumed stitching the Primrose Cottage Snowman 2023. I have a new start. The Sampler Bag. It is so much fun to stitch on the vinyl bags.

[@StitchyWendy]

Dawn is such a fun teacher! I love watching and listening to her, even though I don't partake in the making. Peter, you're a great student! I'm pretty sure you guys answered my question I posted on IG about if I wanted to use the crushed walnut shells to put in my cross stitch finishes. I don't want the oils to leach out into the fibers of my pieces, even if they're not going to be handed down to anyone when I'm gone. I'll just avoid that mess. 🍅

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Wendy, I am enjoying watching and listening to your flosstube. I am so happy you are doing them. I have been reading your comments on our videos for several years. I always enjoy reading your thoughtful comments. Dawn asked me if I wanted to make a pincushion in her video. I thought it would be fun to make on on camera. I saw how fast Dawn was stitching so I knew I had to pick up the pace. Dawn is so good at teaching. On a side note, I am going to need to have you start cutting out shapes for Birdie's year lol. Wool is so fabulous to work with and I think you will really enjoy the process.

[@StitchyWendy]

@@alwaysinstitches5388 Just think that was your first pincushion. The next will be faster if you make another. I saw your marching orders here earlier 😆 and I hopped to it - I have traced, cut out my pattern, and after I return home I will iron my fusible on and cut out my wool. Perhaps if I had more people giving me orders/demands/commands regarding my crafts, I would get more done. 😄😄 And I love watching and listening to you all! I would have to do a weekly mandatory shopping trip to the store if I lived nearby!

[@lorijohnson9206]

Can't wait to share this with my sewing group. 😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thanks for sharing our video with your sewing group!

[@neilstephen6761]

Enjoy your video would like to see Peters cross stitch . Happy stitching

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Hop on over to our flosstube video. It should be up by Tuesday. I have two cross stitch projects to show.

[@ryanbarnett7493]

I've always avoided stuffing because I could never get it right. Thanks for your explanation. These look really cute 😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You’re welcome 😊

[@debbiehayslrtte]

This was such a fun video. I really enjoyed it! On my way to get my supplies.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That is so exciting. I had so much fun making this pincushion.

[@susandupree5431]

Love this. Thanks very much 😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You're welcome!

[@lisazilaro6906]

Lovely !!! Thanks for sharing 🪡🧵♥️

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Your so welcome!

[@marianolsen4963]

Oh my goodness you two are too cute! ❤

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@JulieRStitches]

I love it. I would never stuff anything with walnut shells or the lizard litter. I have too many friends with nuts allergies. I know I am allergic to nut dust. I always use emery. I just learned of another thing that might work as I was researching on how to make fabric weights. They suggested extra fine aquarium gravel. This was a WONDERFUL tutorial 🤗‼️

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@poodlegirl55]

Very cute project. I have made seven yoyo quilts in my life time. That's what I used to do with all my fabric scraps.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That is so cool. The Yo-yo quits are very special because you don't see very many.

[@lynnebaldwin4305]

Thank you This was fun 😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You are so welcome!

[@scottydog6539]

It is sooooooo nice to see you again Dawn. Hi Peter, nice to see you both together. Let the fun begin.

[@scottydog6539]

I have quite a few yo-yo makers by Clover.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I am starting to get ideas to use them!

[@calstalk1675]

I love that ….

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@kathieluskin5228]

So cute. I'm into making pincushions and will be making some of these for my collection . Please move your scrap pail. I can't see what Dawn is doing, only Peter. T hank you for sharing this tutorial.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@scottydog6539]

A couple of green felt leaves would be nice under a green or red button.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Absolutely!

[@sharonpatnode454]

Ok this is my first time watching you.OMG you two are just down right awesome….joined your channel can’t wait to watch more

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you! We are so happy to have you join our channel!

[@wendygervais8526]

Loved it. Does anyone remember yo-yo dolls?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Yes, Dawn has one!

[@janeblazer8034]

Hey y’all! Can you show us how you made the green top of the tomato please?

[@craftingwithlisamarie]

What a fun project! Would you show us how you made the yo-yo name tag necklace you're wearing in one of the photos?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you! I let Dawn know.

[@annetteellis4188]

I have never made a yo-yo, but this looks fun. I see a tomato pin cushion in my future. Do you have a template for the green top? I just found your channel on KZbin and subscribed. You and Peter are too cute!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Welcome to our channel. We are so happy to have you here. The pincushion is such a joy to make. We don't have a template for the green top.

[@phylham1565]

I may have missed it, but did you have a stabiluzer on the back of your red fabric? Great project. Thank you for sharing.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Just the fabric!

[@sewphisticatedgma]

Loved your video. Could you post template for the green felt flower or share where to get one.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Dawn got a dye cut from Amazon!

[@cindyvalbert2109]

Can you tell me where you found the adorable stand that your tomatoes are hanging from ?! Must have! Great tutorial!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I don't know where she got that! Dawn loves to find things at antique stores!

[@terrydonegan470]

First time watching you, did enjoy it OK I wish you would move that black bucket to much talking in the back ground and other noises

[@conniegreathouse121]
