It's insane, I know. It's like I have no control.
So, Monday, when I should have been preparing for class and doing many other things, I did this, instead.
You know I've been working on that July UFO made entirely with a variety of Minick and Simpson fabric collections. Those scraps are definitely being saved, and some of them ended up becoming this pincushion. It measures about 4" square.
This makes the fifth random pincushion now, and really, I do not need them! (Links to pinnie #1, #s 2 and 3, and #4.) The fun is that they finish so quickly - you actually have a finished product in your hand in about an hour. That is very gratifying. Also, you use what normally would be wasted - trashcan material. There was a time when I threw away the cut-away corners of my flying geese units. No more! Look what can become of them.
The back of this pincushion is pretty, too. I have a stack of HSTs that may or may not be used in the medallion project, so I just grabbed one to use for my back.
Yesterday, Sharon was here to sew and we accomplished so much! I will try to get back to posting more regularly, as blog topics are piling up here! Hope you have a great Wednesday!
I am linking today with Let's Bee Social. You have got to see the gorgeous table runner she has just made. I may have to make one, as well. It sure is pretty. I've also just discovered Midweek Makers at Quilt Fabrications. I am linking; let me know what you think!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
I'm thinking just like you about pincushions and scraps. I have lots of pincushions, and they are my jewels. Yours is beautiful, and I thank you for the good idea for the back side.
ReplyDeletePin cushions are addicting. This one is darling!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Good job with the points too! Thanks for sharing on Midweek Makers today.
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion is very nice. I've been wondering what to do with all those little hst that are left over. Thanks for the idea.
