Addicted To Pincushions

in Just for Fun on 21/02/14

Pincushions come in all shapes and sizes. To me, the more useful or unique the better…

I have one pincushion that I absolutely love.  It came from my Grandmother. It was given to me a few years before she passed away and holds such special memories. Not only does it remind me of my childhood and visiting her apartment, but it brings back memories of my Grandmother. I’m not sure how old it is, but my Mom and I think it dates back to the 1950’s. Here are a few pictures. The little guy is in pretty great shape!

I’m too afraid to use it, so it sits high on a shelf safe from toddler hands. I’ve recently thought about attempting to make a version that I can actually use… If I ever get around to it, I’ll let you know.

Well, just a little inspiration today. I’m almost finished with my trade shows and travels.  I can’t wait to get back into the DIY swing of things!

Have a great weekend.

    This is too cute! I love this!
    I have way too many pincushions and I love making more from fabric scraps. Although I barely use them, they make cute gift tags.

I made the most glorious little Kraft-tex journal I made the most glorious little Kraft-tex journal cover over the holidays.  Not only do I love the color of the month for December (blue turquoise), but the texture of my journal is like aged leather and looks durable and rugged. Did you know Kraft-tex is actually paper??? My cover was simple to make and is just one rectangular piece of Kraft-tex, folded over at the ends and topstitched. Thats it.❤️

What a fun class! Thank you to the participants in What a fun class! Thank you to the participants in my first zoom block printing class. It was an amazing group of people coming together with a common goal - sharing their love of print and pattern design.

My hubby snapped a few pictures during the workshop. I’m normally a “hider outer”, but thought this was a perfect opportunity to say Hi.  Even if it is looking down and away from the camera. 🤪

I will be hosting another block printing zoom workshop mid January. Come one come all. DM or email me for details.
