JUNE Pincushion - Late Note Please

Hi Girls and Chooky, can I please have a late note as my filling for my pin cushion won't be arriving - there is a delay with my order from the home patch - expect the shipment on or around the second week of July, but I have it ready to go once the stuffing arrives.....

JUNE... Pinchushion

OK, with the threat of another pass looming, and the month drawing to a nearer end, I had a panic. and although I had dragged out the fabrics, the book and the tools last week, I finally go to it  yesterday I spent some time....so progress has begun...


My stitcheries are complete - yes I decided to stitch the little home instead of applique, and I have now joined almost all the hexis....that's tonight finish.

I am going to say  it may be late as I finally tracked down the walnut shells at Hatched and Patched and placed my order today. So once they arrive I can complete it.

But I have dragged out Next month's pattern and I am thinking of altering the stitchery...but I am thinking early!!!

Done and on time!

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately I had to use my pass for the May project but I'm happy to say my June pincushion is done!
There was a lot more work in this little thing than I had first thought but it was worth it as I love the way it turned out.
Fabrics are Rural Jardin by French General for Moda except the one with the big bird. I'm not sure about that one.


Now to have a look at what I need to do for July.
