Pincushion Exchange
Last week we had a pincushion exchange at our guild meeting.
These are the two that a made. The bird is red work embroidery filled with crushed walnut shells and the other is a combination of the walnut shells and some stuffing.
These are the two I came home with. Are they not cute as can be?
The cushion on the chair lifts off so you can store a thimble and needles in it. This one was not hand made. However, I still love it. Thanks Janet.
This bench was rescued from a garage sale, Theresa painted, added flowers and covered the bench with a cushion.

How cute, and who doesn't love a pincushion!! I need to bring one to work, you wouldn't believe how many times having one would have come in handy for various things.
ReplyDeletePs Where did you get the measuring tape fabric??
Thanks for stopping by Cyndi.
DeleteI found this cute fabric at Material World in Branson last month.
Love your measure tape one... very cool! And the arm chair one is fantastic isn't it! Would love to find one of those! Great swap :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Cheryll.
DeleteI think the Arm Chair pin cushion came from JoAnn's.
I love the redwork pin cushion that you made and I WON! My 3 yr old grand daughter did a great job transferring the pins.
ReplyDeleteCool ideal taking two, to get two! Why didn't I think of that.
Maybe I will double up on the pot holders, cause I really need some new ones!
Keep cool.
Patti
Happy to hear you found a use for you pincushion. You may bring as many potholders as you wish. I took 3 last year, we had some really cute ones. Should be fun.
DeleteYour pincushions are amazing. I know there was a lot of work on the first one and I love the fabric on the second one. Too bad you didn't get handmade ones in return even though they are cute.
ReplyDeleteI did put a little time in the bird, however I like to have embroidery projects on hand to take to appointments and places I have to sit and wait. I have to stay busy.
DeleteBetty, I'm so happy to have the chance to see these two you made. Wonderful treasures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprize to find that Patti got one of your's.
I'm looking forward to the potholder exchange.
hugs ♥
Yes, it was rather pleasing to have a blogging friend get one of my pieces of work. Now I am getting ready for the potholder exchange.
DeleteYou did such a good job on the bird pincushion! Its my favorite and the overstuffed chair too. I'm sure it was a lot of fun just seeing all the pincushions.
ReplyDeleteYes, we had quite a selection of pincushions, everyone different.
ReplyDeleteI love them!!!! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteBetty I'm a red work fanatic - totally addicted - so of course I love that pin cushion! blessings, marlene
