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!
