Sue mentioned using a sewing cushion for embroidery, applique & hand piecing. Figured i could use one too & purchased Sue's pattern. It's paper pieced & came with the papers.
I'd seen this very cute pincushion made up & thought it so adorable i just had to get the pattern. I was lucky the lovely Linda had it in stock.
Jenny was having a clean up of fabrics & she thought of me & how i love purple. I knew Jenny was sending me a "little" something but was so surprised when i opened the parcel. Lucky, lucky me. :)
Needed this for a project & finally found some. Why is it when you don't want a particular fabric you can buy the whole roll but when you do want it you can't find it?.

I have about 40 cms of the sewing fabric with an aqua background if you are interested. I am not sure what you are planning on making but maybe it will help.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you need it.
Jeanette, interesting patterns , just how does the embroidery sewing cushion work ? That is something totally new to me and the turtle is so cute . Wasn't that nice of Jenny to send those purple fabrics ;-)

I love the idea of the cushion. I watch a DVD by Australian Quilters Companion. The lady on there was using one..but it was just a normal pillow. I tried it out for hand applique and I have to say it makes it alot more comfortable to stitch. Highly recommend it! I love the turtle...I have made it and oh he is cute!.. I also just love the bottom fabric with the cotton reels.. itis so sweet. Take care Lisa
ReplyDeleteI would also like to know how to use the first cushion it sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the turtle pincushion!! So cute!
Jeanette, I have that same little turtle pincushion pattern right here on my desk begging me to make it! Isn't it adorable!? I know yours will be made before mine. LOL!!
