Happy Weekend Friends :)

Pincushion needed... I wanted a special pincushion to put beside my stitchy chair...I have had this BBD Moda fabric for quite some time and have been wanting to put it to use. Today I decided to make a pincushion using the fabric. I just LOVE how this turned out and I have enough fabric and wooden base to make one more :)



I was gifted by sweet Brenda with one of her MOST gorgeous punch needle pillows. I just love it and it will be a Beeutiful addition to my holiday decorating :) Brenda you did a gorgeous job on it. The finishing is absolutely wonderful and the fabric you used just goes so well with the design and colors in the design!! And she sent me the sweetest needle minder as well :) Thank you again dear Brenda :) I am so happy to call you friend :)


I am still stitching on Quakers and Quilts and loving it :) I will post a progress pic next week :)

Thank you ever so much for your visits :) Please do come by again :)
hugs and love from SC :)

That pincushion is gorgeous, Becky - I need a large one myself; I have several fat quarters of that fabric in different colorways, so I could probably make something similar.

I love the pillow that Brenda made for you - the colors are beautiful, and so vibrant!

Diana said...

I just love the pincushion! Where did you get the wood base? I heard BBD may be reprinting that Moda fabric. It is such a great pattern.

Berit said...

It really IS a special pincushion! :o

I just love that BBD fabric--wish they'd put out some more similar!

What a good gift. :)

Definitely looking forward to that progress pic. :)

The pincushion is so cute and the fabric is lovely. I love the look of punch needle, but I've not tried it yet.

Shelleen said...

Your pincushion came out great and what a great gift you received.

Truly lovely, Becky!

Leisha said...

Love the pin cushion and also have enjoyed reading your blog very much! You are a very talented and creative stitcher! I could spend hours looking at your previous posts but just wanted to share with you how I felt! I have been a cross stitcher for atleast 25 years and have given most of my things away except for my unfinished projects (which are many I might add) but I have been trying to make some things to keep for me lately! I have gotten alot of ideas on how to finish things from your blog and I appreciate it! I just started a blog recently "Keeper of the Farmhouse". Hope you get a chance to check it out and hope we get to become friends through our kindred hobbies! Have you ever attended the cross stitch show in Nashville? I was just checking out the site and would love to go sometime, but is it my understanding that you have to have a cross stitch business to attend? Hugs, Leisha :)

Siobhan said...

What a great gift from Brenda! I love your pinkeep, too. It reminded me that I've been hoarding a yard of this fabric, a gift from a special friend. Hmmm... must use it in something. :)

I love your quilts piece. Fabulous progress! The balls of thread you're using look more scrumptious than a box of chocolate. ;)
