Finished Just in Time!

Hello!

I did it! Chooky you can mark me down for this month. I made it with a day to spare!  :)


It helped that I already had some 1-1/2" Pam Kitty Morning squares leftover from my "My Favorite Things" quilt. It went together pretty quickly.


I embroidered the sides in pink perle cotton and stuffed it with crushed walnut shells. The pins are two that a friend of mine gave me last year.

I had extra time today after I finished the pin cushion, so I got a head start on next months project. Okay so I'm only a day early but I'm still early!  ;)


I traced the patterns on some muslin and backed them in fusible batting so they're ready to stitch.

I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!  :)

Until next time . . .
