Our Next Show:
Steiff began with an elephant pincushion, so it is only natural that we use that for our next challenge! We'll present a selection of original design pincushions to you on Saturday, October 23, 2010. Be sure to mark your calendar or sign up to receive notifications.

The Show Details
Joel Hoy - Joel's Bears, Peggy Fleming - The Pleasant Ridge Collection, and Terri Larson - Plum Street periodically challenge each other to make pieces with the same theme such as candy containers or a patriotic theme. All pieces are one of a kind. Only three pieces are created by each artist, so only nine pieces are offered per show.
Pieces may be purchased from the individual artists beginning at 7:00 p.m. CST. PayPal is the only form of payment accepted for this show. Prices shown include shipping within the United States. For international purchases, please contact the artist. The first person to email the artist with payment information for each piece will be the happy owner. Purchases made on Wednesday evening will be mailed via United States Post Office Priority Mail insured no later than the following Saturday.
