Pincushions

This is what I've been up to lately. These little pincushions are very addictive.

I've also been trying my hand at decorative pins but I'm not happy with the pins themselves. I'll have to check out some other brands because some of the ones I bought wouldn't even go through my pin cushion. Go figure!!!

These are available in my Artfire store as of today.

February Binding Challenge

My new Tea Cosy!  The cats are from a scrap and the polka dots and black are binding strips! I'm on a roll cuz I've got another one in the makings.

 

How neat is this? I took a drawing from my then 5 year old (he's now the ripe age of 6) and immortalized it in "stitchery"! I have a collection of his aliens that may just find their way into a quilt.
