I joined the second round of the Scrappy Pincushion Pass on Flickr since I enjoyed the first round so much. This is the pincushion that I just finished up for my secret partner. I came up with an abbreviated process of making a quilt: dream, cut, piece, baste, quilt, love. I then cut a freezer paper stencil with those words and applied them to the fabric with a teal colored ink. The words are spaced with little hand stitched cross shapes to mimic the patchwork on the left.
The back of the pincushion is pieced with little squares.
I am sorry to part with this one. Something about it "speaks" to me...ha, ha, ha. In all seriousness, I really do like it. But I am happy to send it off because I think my partner will love it.
Ohhhh, so very, very nice!

Your partner won't like it! She will LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable and I love those colors. I especially like your little tag hanging off the side!:)
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use to stuff them?
Wow, great job Amy! I just love the front. So, so perfect for a quilter and I love those pins! But I'm absolutely IN LOVE with your teeny tiny patchwork on the back (maybe it's all the Mary scraps? he he). How small are those squares? They're so cute! Oh, and some of the squares are my favorite scrap that you sent me . . . the blue and purple flowers.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and fresh looking. Hey...I've got a few of those fabrics. You've got serious patience with those tiny squares! Good for you...and your partner.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaah! Who the heck is your partner? I'm going to break into their sewing room and runaway with this!!!! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love all the colors in this and the printing on it. Very fresh!
