edited to add: the pattern for the pincushion is from the December 2007 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine.
finishing up wee bunnies (or bunny bombs, as we call them) feels good.
finishing up coasters from Christmastime feels (really) good.
finishing the quilting on the charity quilt feels good.
(nearly) finishing the pincushions feels good.
(I ran out of embroidery floss.)
finishing up some packages to send off to friends feels good.
*inspiration for this post came from this book.

Keep up the great work.
WOW... you did get a lot done.
ReplyDeleteThose bunny bombs are so cute, you just want to hug them.
I did work on getting a table runner finished. I got all the machine quilting done and then got stuck when it came to deciding how to do the binding. I hope to get that figured out the first part of next week.
Thanks for the inspiration to just keep working away.
I agree, it does feel good to finish things up. I didn't finish much more this week, although I did get my listings done and up at Etsy. What did I do? Start a new project... So much for FINISHING things... LOL
ReplyDeleteGood work! I need to have a week like that very soon... Thanks for the link to the thread company in the previous post! I am always looking for cotton thread to a reasonable price, got to check if they ship overseas.
ReplyDeleteFinishing feels so so good!

What a productive week you have had! Love the pincushions especially - I used to subscribe to BH&G - may have to reconsider getting it again.
ReplyDeleteI am finally finishing up my quilt-a-long quilt- just need to finish a bit of the binding- that feels so good! thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been whirling around with tons of things on my plate and haven't sat in front of the computer in days now... and then I pop over here and see how incredibly productive you've been! I'm so impressed - you just may have inspired me to tackle a few of the unfinished home projects I've been putting off.
ReplyDeleteFinishing is a great feeling. Such creativity come to life.
ReplyDeletefinishing does feel amazing. the quilting and the pincushions are great.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodnesssss. I LOVE your pincushions! They look like little cookies. How darling!
ReplyDeleteAnd the pincushins are my favorite too. Perhaps I should try making some myself. For me, they're just the right size for a project.
