Strawberry Fields Pincushion

This afternoon I put together my little pincushion, in one of my favourite fabrics, Strawberry Fields, by Fig Tree Fabrics.   

...... and the reverse side...... 

I'm very happy to have this month ticked off .... now to get ready for April which will be here 

very soon tomorrow........ Happy stitching girls .........

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 ;)

March & a 2nd February

Well, I am loving that little threat from Chooky, that I don't complete a month I can't play along. That kind of lingers in the back of mind all the time. Keeping me on point and on target. I read March's project and thought do I need another pincushion, mmm of course LOL...and I have a birthday in March, nice cushion some good pins, perfect gift.....so I got to it, they were rather quick to stitch, I did 2 in one night, then of course they have be plonked on my desk under all the other half projects that have been waiting for a sewing machine sit in.....yes I like to hand stitch, but it's done upstairs in our house and the machine part is done downstairs - I need to schedule a day for it and this week I have - read all about it on my Blog.

Bugger, I don't know how but I missed Kris's Tip, it would have made my job easier - read my blog to find out my adventures with stuffing LOL

So Chooky, I've completed my second bag, and it's packed and ready for GDITC and you can add 2 pin cushions - love ticking of my list of To-Do's

What do you think ?

As I have already made this pincushion last year :

and made it 3 times (2 for a giveaway on my blog) :

 I didn't want to make one more.... instead I made this little turtle :

 As it is an Anni Downs pattern too, I hope it will count for March !

Here's the battle of the pincushions.... which one will win the place in the SAL ???

It's MaDe

Instead of squeezing in my item at the last minute... this month I've finished the "pin cushion" 6 days into the month... yeh... plenty of time!  WooHoo...

I always add buttons to any pin cushion I make because that's where I store a needle...FYI

March complete

I traced the stitchery band for the pincushion

yesterday afternoon and did the stitchery last

night while watching MKR. 

I also cut the fabric for the top & bottom

and voila

a complete SKOW pincushion

I used the same fabric range that I used for the Tote bag

and have decided that the needlebook & sewing case

will also be made with

Independence Trail by Minnick & Simpson.

Then I will have a matching set :)

Almost done

Today I came across these orphan blocks.

Just had to check the size and guess what...

They are the exact size for this months project.

I also found a long forgotten Jelly-Roll of Moda Muslins, might be able to find a perfect match for the stitchery in there.

So there you have it, I'm almost done.

March committment all done!

Last night I joined up with a number of other ladies for Friday Night with Friends.

I completed lots of things but especially love this finish!

My March pin cushion, from SKOW.

I love it so much I have traced another one and have begun posting it over at my blog.

 

Enjoy your month, Simone

Can't wait to see how other pin cushions turn out.

March - Pin Cushion

Decided to trace the pin cushion stitchery tonight and make a start on it. Surprising myself, i completed the stichery. I have the 1 1/2 inch squares cut. Maybe an early finish. Wow!!

Here's the stitchery.

Very happy
