I joined the Fab Little Pincushion Swap on Flickr this Spring
and made this for my partner who loves strawberries
The pincushion is supposed to be a strawberry flower...
I used a pattern I found in the Spring 2008 Issue of Quilts and more
Do you keep magazines for that long? lol...
yeah, I have somelots older than that, he he!
I made the strawberry pin toppers with beads found at JoAnn's,
extra long pins, and a little super glue..
and made the little needle case using this pattern from The Happy Zombie
Then today, I receive this sweet little guy in the mail from my partner
Isn't he cute? Her work in perfect...
I love him :-)
Now, I've been digging in my pattern stash looking for pincushions...
yeah, I have a few I just have to make, ha!
I hate to admit it, but I have magazines from back in 1969. They have some awesome patterns from back then. I love your sweet pincushion. I'm sure your partner loved it too.
ReplyDeleteYour swap gift is darling too! Her work is excellent.
Beautiful strawberry pincushion you made and what a lovely one you received!
