Introduction from Ginny Watson of Magic Mouse Creations!

Did you ever wonder what to do with all those little pieces of fabric you have been collecting?  I hate to call them "scraps"!  When I traveled in nova Scotia, I purchased a bag of "suttles"---a bag of wonderful little pieces of fabric!  "Suttles seems to give my scraps a more worthwhile reason for being saved.  Of course, there is always a reason for keeping that bit of treasured fabric!

I have spent a lifetime making things - doll clothes, dioramas and things for my doll house under the watchful eye of my Mother or Grandmother.  I graduated to bigger things like clothes and slipcovers.  Now, I'm back to little things!

My latest passion is designing patterns for sewing accessories - pincushions, chatelaines, organizers and Victorian reproductions - under the Magic Mouse Creations trademark.  So the jumble of suttles has grown even larger.  As my little Magic Mouse arranged and rearranged that collection, visions of birds and strawberries and pincushions and needle holders began to emerge.

As my patterns grew in number, so also did my collection of antique sewing accessories.   I have traveled with this collection to quilt shows, quilt guilds Quilt Market, and galleries to share these treasures.  As a former teacher,  I've done Teacher Training and workshops for Quilt Market and quilt guilds. Home base for the Mouse is beautiful Smith Mountain Lake in Southwestern VA.

Quilters are special!!
