Pincushions!

Back in November, 2014, I blogged about winning a china teacup pincushion from Edith at Inch by Inch Quilting, Calgary, Alberta. It came early in December but with the craft fairs, Christmas shopping and the holidays, I didn't get a chance to blog about it. Many thanks, Edith! Here it is with my other pincushions.

The cosy chair holds some oversize needles. Note the tall upholstery needle. The dark blue rectangle pincushion is decades old. It's made from heavy coat material and has a strip of Velcro on the bottom. This one is attached to the table in front of my sewing machine. I find having a pincushion in front of the machine, works for me. The sashiko stitched pincushion (the newest one ) was this year's Christmas gift from a friend. One can never have too many pincushions.

 

Here's a few patterns to check:

• cupcakes
• 50 + free pincushion patterns
• teapot pincushion

Enjoy!

Guess What!!

Even though last week was an extremely busy one for me, I did manage to make a quick visit to the various blogs featured in Blogathon Canada. I did enter a few of the great giveaways too and guess what? I won a lovely teacup pincushion from Inch by Inch Quilting Blog. It was fashioned by Joanne of Etcetera. The pincushion is made from a vintage (children's) teacup.

If you haven't already checked out the terrific Canadian Bloggers from last week, it is a great way to meet new quilters and see what they are doing. It is also interesting to see the various links, tutorials and projects quilters list on their blogs.

Thanks again, Edith from Calgary, Alberta. (I borrowed your teacup photo to show off what I won).
