A new pincushion and a peak at another hexagon quilt

Recently a friend did me a huge favour  and I wanted to give her a little gift as a thank you. I decided to make her a pincushion. She is a quilt maker and quilting teacher so it is a gift that I am sure will be put to good use!


I like little details - they make a huge difference no matter what it is you are creating and they really don't take much time. What little details did I add to make that bit of difference? Tree trunks, a door knob and a chimney!


I've got oodles of quilt tops waiting to be quilted but they will have to wait until after the quilt show. Here's a little teaser of one that is waiting to be quilted! The hexagons measure just a whisker over 1/2"! I'll share more pictures in the near future!


Another friend has asked me to quilt her Soucpon quilt . She registered in the Quilt Show so it has to be finished by September 19th. I'll get the quilt tonight and hopefully start quilting tomorrow! I'll be sure to share pictures of her quilt and my quilting as I go along!

Until I post again, happy sewing!

    Adorable pin cushion! I made several in tea cups a couple of years back but using vintage cotton fabrics and vintage lace, always threatening to try a mini scene like this. But never got round to it of course and just as well, mine wouldn't have looked that cute!
