One AWESOME pincushion...

This is what Jen (aka Miss Punkie Pie) made for me.  And she color coordinated my gift!  How cute is that?  lol!  It really is an awesome pincushion & it's heavy.  As soon as I took it out of the box, I put in right next to my sewing machine.  And the bag!!!...I've always wanted one but I don't have those kind of skills.  I'm one lucky gal!

Jen...THANK YOU! (big smile)

CGQC Pincushion Swap

I ended up making 3 pincushions for this swap.  The flower & 2 of the pink one.  They were small.  So, I went ahead and got a canning jar pincushion that I had made a while back.  Now I need to figure out which one(s)/what to send.  I guess my swap partner will find out when she gets her box...that I mailed out yesterday...lol!

Oh, and when I was making the flower pincushion I had gotten a little crazy with the glue gun.  There was this one spot on the petal that had a glob of dried glue.  Well, I found a solution, I had bought some beads & oval charms from Micheal's.  The charms had different words on them like:  wish, create, hope and believe.  So I went ahead and put one of those charms over the 'glob' and it looks so much better!  If you haven't noticed, I'm real proud of that flower pincushion...lol!


HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!

Japan Quake Appeal Auction

Allie over at Allie-Oops Sweet Happy Life blog is holding an auction to raise money for Japan.  She is auctioning the cutest little quilt, you can check it out here.

I did it!

And it wasn't that hard to make!  I did get a little crazy with the hot glue gun but I wanted to make sure nothing would come loose.  If I would have focused on this one project, I could have been done in a hour...lol!

If you are interested in making this cute little pincushion on a golf tee, you can find it right here at the Polka Dot Pineapple Blog.

Wordless Wednesday...

Pincushion Update...

I managed to finish 2 small square ones.  I used Woodland Bloom.  I just love the pinks in that line.  And then I started on the Handy Dandy pincushion, I'm curious to see how this one turns out...lol!  If everything goes as planned, it will look like a flower sitting on a golf peg.  Then I want to try the bottle cap pincushion.  I think all the hand sewing that is required is kind of holding  me back but with the deadline coming it's going to give me the push I need.  In addition to working on these pincushions, I've been slowly making progress on my Moda Bake Shop contest quilt.  BUT as of right now, I'm going to have to put a brief hold on all my fun stuff, I need to work on a t-shirt quilt for a customer.  I hope everyone has a great week!
