Hand quilting with running stitch. |
|
Kathy's block x 3. |
|
My two 'working horse' pincushions, I use these all the time. |
|
I made the pincushion doll and the creamer pincushion. |
|
I made this Log Cabin Pincushion from a left over block, I sewed on a buffalo nickel shank button. |
|
I used a cute strawberry pattern and added embellishment. |
Progress on 'Citrus Rose' quilt, I'm quilting it with running stitch in colorful embroidery thread, 3 strands. The more rows I stitch the more I like it.
I'm working through Liberated Quilts II by Gwen Marston. I'm on Kathy's block, by playing with color placement you can get some great effects. So far I've made three blocks.
Then there is a Pincushion Parade at
My Sister Made Me Do It . I love pincushions and I do indulge in making them. You can't have too many and they are useful too! Stop on over to see some beautiful pincushions at Ida's.
Happy Friday!

You sure have a talent for crazy quilting! Janie, I love your pincushions! Especially that strawberry! Is it velvet?
Love your hand quilted running stitches too! I was thinking that it reminded me of Kaja's quilting and then saw that you are going to do Ad Hoc Improv too - how fun!
Janie you just can't ever have too much embellishment, right? Your pin cushions are lovely....I think I'm going to have to break down and buy one of those half dolls so I can make a "proper" doll pincushion.....thanks so much for linking up and joining the parade!
Great pincushions! I love those star blocks. Great design and perfect fabrics!
Your big stitch quilting is beautiful as are your fantastic pincushions.
Love your embellished pincushions!
Beautiful embellished pin cushions!
Thank you, the strawberry is upholstery weight velvet, I'm looking forward to Ad Hoc Improv!
You're welcome, your Pincushion Parade was a great idea. I bought the half doll from Roxanne of Roxanne's Ribbonry at one of her workshops I attended in San Jose, CA.
Thank you, Pamela.
What a unique assortment of pincushions! The embellishments are great.
Fun post! It was great to see all your pincushions. Will pop over now to see what's happening at Ida's.
Wow, I love your pincushions! I've never got round to making them, but now I need to reconsider.
Beautiful pincushions, I think I may need to make a few.
I think my favourite is the log cabin pincushion but they are all lovely. xx
Thank you!! Making pincushions can be habit forming.
oh I love your pin cushions!! I have several too....you can never have too many pin cushions!!
I agree, Karen. Your pincushions are works of art, as seen here, http://karenannruane.typepad.com/karen_ruane/ .
