cuteness

 I made myself a new little pincushion the other day. I absolutely LOVE it!
It's made with a pieced back....
and itty bitty scraps. Not a bit of those precious bliss dots gets thrown out at my house!

Pattern can be found in this book.
When I make something this cute, why do I have to urge to make 100? or 1000?

  1. Have you made 1000 yet?
    What did you fill it with?

    Um, same thing happens to me... and since you're looking to make a 100 anyways, I LOVE those bliss dots too (wink, wink) :o)

    I love what you have done. I have some scraps that would be perfect. I can't seem to throw them away either. No matter now small.
    Thanks for sharing.

  5. Very Cute. I saw dots just like at Mill End today. I did not check the brand, just forced myself to keep walking. They were adorable though.

  7. Isn't it amazing how the simplest things give us so much pleasure....not that writing your name in thread is simple!:)

    Love the tag...great idea. I have some fun twill tapes and that's the perfect thing to do with them and yes...what did you use for stuffing?

  16. To jump on the question bandwagon, was your name hand stitched or machine? I'm eager to hear about the stuffing. And, f you are going to make 1000s of them, I'd love one of your signature pieces.

    Whoa! That is one pricey book! I've been inspired by your blog to get back into random piecing and have just finished using the scraps from my Sew Hip Mystery Quilt to make smaller pieces for a baby quilt.

    Not all the blocks for the baby quilt were used and a darling pin cushion would be a great way to use them up.

    Also, what is it filled with? Is there any kind heavy fiber on the bottom side to keep pins from poking through the back?

    I love the embroidery. Years ago, in college, I took a freehand machine embroidery class (1977) and over the years have used it to decorate a lot of things.

  34. look at you in ALL your massive cuteness!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. So so cute! I'm happy to see you make something just for you :-) Now go poke the heck out of it and get back to work. We all wait on pins and needles (hello, pun, thanks for coming!) for your next project!

  42. I know, addictive isn't it?? So cute and love the label :)

  43. This is a fantastic idea! I've been looking for some small, quick to finish projects lately and this will fit the bill nicely. I may play with my own design for them.

    Just curious...what do you fill your pincushions with? I've heard of so many different options but have yet to make my own.

    Love your blog!

  44. I must say, when I make something adorable, I want to do it over and over, too. It builds skill as well.

    ReplyDelete

    Waving to ya... hope all is going well!

    Okay, just so you don't all think I am crazy! I looked at this book again and today it said the price was something like $15.71. Not bad at all. But I swear when I left my other comment, the link showed the decimal point in the wrong place and it was priced at $151.--something.

    I was impressed that you had that book and thought, Hmmmmm.... maybe I should start a blog too. It seems to pay well!

    I know what you mean.
    While big quilts are so much fun,
    I love making "extras" out of bits and pieces.Did you put sand inside
    to sharpen the pins?

    Too cute! Don't feel bad I have a new dolly, um, I mean Kindle and it has four different covers that I have sewed. It "needs" different outfits! It also gave me the chance to practice my machine stitches and use up those "got to have" fat quarters that I have no idea why I bought!It is a fun and fast project so indulge yourself!

  50. Well, curvy stitchings are looks very much beautiful and too much attractive on any clothes. It is such a fun work.
