Little Birdie Pincushion

Have you seen the newest cute thing that I've found? A Little Birdie Pincushion!  I got an email this week from The Pine Needle Quilt store in Lake Oswego, OR and they had this picture in their store flyer. I LOVE this little Bird. Of course, I love bird things! I have got to make one. Can you imagine him (her?) made from felt? Or made to look like a ROBIN? Please, send me a picture if you make one. I would love to see your version. I will share mine when I get him made. You can find the pattern here on Sharon Holland's website or on the side bar under free patterns.

The Square Deal Pincushion

I made a Square Deal Pincushion this week. I chose Jo Morton fabric and a oversized black button and used black crochet cotton instead of ribbon. I stuffed it with crushed walnut shells that I bought at a local pet store in the reptile section. Kind of weird, but it feels and works great! I love this pincushion's shape! You should make one for yourself and then one to give away to a friend.



This is Heather Bailey's version. I love her colors and patterns!


This is my version. It is much more boring but I still like the look.
Her pattern is available above in the tan titles or in the Free patterns sidebar. She also has a great blog...Heather Bailey
