Logcabin Pincushion
Logcabin Pincushion
My addiction to making log cabin pincushions is back, and its a bad
one again! Ive shown so many, maybe too many pincushions on this blog in the past, but when I get bitten by this pincushion bee, my self-controlis totally gone and the only thing I can think of is to make and makeand make more pincushions. And the fact I took a part of the zakka stylesew along and made a pincushion for it didnt help ;)
If you are already sick of seeing my log cabin pincushions,feel free to turn around and say adios now!If you have a bit of time to spare and dont mind seeingsome of the pincushions I made, thank you and here we go!
I love this one partly because this is the first pincushion Ive ever made that I used my carved stamp for! The "Sewing!" stamped on the linen piece is one ofthe stamps I carved this week. Remember I told you Ive beenaddicted to that too? I also like this one because I think thegirl looks like she is looking at cherry blossoms petals falling. I love the pink snow flakes and miss them terribly already!
I made this one today. Very pink and strawberry!The stamp came out a bit better than how it looks in the picture. I got to use some fabrics I have always wanted to use for pincushion-making, so Im happy!So far this is the only one left waiting for a new home in my shop ;)
This is another one I made today. Its for a sweet friend who Ive wanted to make something for for a long time. I carved the chipmunk stamp too.Id say its not too shabby, no?He is asking for a swap with his little flower for an apple, but the thing is ....
There are a bunch of them just behind him!So he would just needs to get up and go around the back to discover them.
The Heather Ross Gnome fabric is always a perfectone to start a log cabin!
Whenever I receive email to notify me I sold my pincushion, I have such a mixed feeling. Happy and sad.Happy because there was someone in the worldwho wants to welcome my pincushion to her crafty space.Sad because it means I have to part with it.This one was particularly a hard one to part with!
This one was so much fun to make, I remember! Ive always thought pink is the dominant color in my fabric stash, but lately I realized I probably havemore aqua fabrics than pink fabrics. The bigger the stashto pick fabric from is, the funner it is to make pincushions.
I covet this poodle fabric and have always wantedto make a pincushion using it.
There may be a little too much going on, butI think it turned out sorta fun!
I picked up the bike stamp before I started carving stamps.Now I feel like I may be able to make a stamp like thatwith a little bit more of practice!
This one makes me think of vintage style a lot ;)It found such a nice new home!
I love this one too. Ill have to make more pincushionswith a sewing machine in the middle more often!
I had a lot of fun making it too. The linen looking fabric at the right bottomis not linen. It is printed cotton that looks like linen and a button. So fun!
Ill probably keep making more pincushions for my shopfor a while, hehe.
Thank you for letting me share these pincushions!Hope you have a great rest of the weekend ;)
Oops I almost forgot! The winners of the package of Aurifil threads are:Sarah, Joyce Carter, Karen P, Beezus, Dakota sews!Congratulations girls ;) Ill contact you all shortly!
