Another straggler over the line...

Made it, with a couple of hours to spare! I omitted the stitchery and quilting, and I still need to top stitch the top edge and find the right buttons, but it's pretty much done. I used the Bonnie & Camille range 'Scrumptious' for the hexagons, and some other fabrics from their other ranges plus some stash bits and pieces.







I'm thinking I'll use it as a project bag for small portable projects.

Done, with days to spare!

Firstly, I just want to say 'well done' to all those finishers this month-some lovely pincushions out there!

Mine is slightly modified-my house is a little more modest, I decided to leave off the quote, and I didn't do any quilting. I enjoyed the needleturn applique, but think I prefer it when the pieces are on the larger size ;) I also loved the little hexies.

Hours To Spare!

I finished my version of this month's bag with hours to spare ;) I chose not to do the stitchery, and since I am a bag-making newbie, I also chose not to do the back opening. I've added a crocheted flower brooch that I have (it was a gift that's been waiting for a specific home).

April done, now for May

Just checking in with my finished April project. I still need to put some kind of hanger on the back, and I'm unsure if I'll do any quilting on it, or leave it as is-we will see. Now to go and look at May's project!



Thanks

Better Picture and April's Project

I posted a very blurry picture of my pincushion last week, but thought I'd put up a better one since we've got some sun today.






I've also decided to use the stitcheries I started for the quilt from TTS some...years ago that have been languishing in the WIP/UFO pile for the April project-I just have a little bit to finish on the third one.

Hopefully, I get an earlier finish for this month's project, as well as moving something out of that pile!

Ta-Da!

Just a really quick post as we are about to head off for the long weekend. Here's the finished pincushion.

Not the best picture, sorry ;)

(Maybe) last but not least

Well, I'm not sure if I'm last or not, but I've made it with a few hours to spare!






I'll be going to rummage in my stash to select fabrics for February's project-I'm getting my daughter to draw up a design for the stitchery panel, so once she's done that, I'll start stitching.
