diamond pin cushion

The other day I needed a little bit of sanity sewing.
(Or perhaps this could be considered insanity sewing?)
Either way, it was just what I needed!
It was inspired by my diamond pillow pattern.
Finished size is 4 1/2'' square.
It is scrap project #123!

Also, thank you so much for your sweet comments about the quilt for my dad! They are all appreciated! xo

  8. I loved the quilt for your dad, and the photographing of it at the farm was perfect! so beautiful. I don't know... this tiny tiny stuff is your sanity sewing? It would drive me insane (although I love the sweet little pin cushion).

  9. I follow your blog from 2012, I think, and I love each of your quilts, bags, coasters, pincusions..... well done!

    A little question: in your previous post, the one about your dad's quilt (wonderful), the submission period is open for a month???

  10. Love, love! After my finish my 12th pair of socks for 2015, I'm returning to sewing. It makes me ridiculously happy even to sew on scout patches. That's how I know I need to get myself back to my machine. Bring on the crazies. We have skills to meet them head on. :)

  14. This is great and I love the "open" center for the pins. Sometimes it is difficult to stick the pins through seams.

  30. Oh, I love this! I gave my daughter sewing related bits and pieces as part of her Xmas present, a tailor's ham, bobbin box, tailor's chalk. I didn't have time to make a pincushion, but I am definitely inspired by this little beauty!
