I had joined the Pincushion Pass wayyy back when. With the looming deadline, I finally got inspired by all the cute pincushions in the flickr pool. Especially the minis by chickenfoot! Aren't they cute?! I think the pastel-ish color palette I used makes these look like candy.
Definitely could not make up my mind which style I wanted to try out first, so I figured, why not try them all? Hope my partner will enjoy them.
I think they'd be fun kept together on the cool dish, or if she wants, she can separate them.

I scaled the pattern pieces down to 85% so that it would flow with the other pincushions. And I made the top piece patchwork as well.
Using a 5 inch diameter circle.

Also wanted to sneak in this super mini pincushion that kind of happened by accident. I just wanted to try out Creative Kismet's tutorial, but made the circle diameter 3 inches across instead of 6, and it is small!
Don't you just want to reach out and take a bite out of them?
Oh Anna, those are adorable!! Serious eye candy! They are each just so cute and perfect. I have Heather Bailey's pin cushion pattern (the one with the pear, apple, and tomato) sitting on my sewing table as we speak. I never seem to get around to making them, but you just may have given me the push I needed. Great job!!

ReplyDeleteAnna, those are really cute!! I love how they are displayed on a dish. I don't really use a pin cushion. What you've created may be the incentive I need! Even when pins don't really make it back in the container and somehow find their way to the floor.
ReplyDeleteThose are so adorable. You might have just inspired me to make yet another pincushion!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest and most delicious pincushions I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThey are really cute! And on the same time really sophisticated! That balance is difficult to keep and they have it :)
ReplyDeleteThey look scrumptious! And oh, so sweet. Displaying them on the plate is inspired.

ReplyDeleteI think your creative ideas were a major score for this Pin Cushion Pass! Lucky recipient!
