The other day I came across this blog called, We Use Coupons that had a cute, quick little pin cushion.
I followed most of the directions but changed it up. I did find a frame at the Dollar Tree. It is plastic.
I painted it using Delta craft paint because it was what was in the house. Two coats.
Instead of using a piece of plain fabric, I decided to look into my bag of embroidery that am
This one was perfect and it shows off those perfect buillion stitches. I also liked the texture of the linen.
I love that some one had the patience to make all those pretty stitches.
I cut 2 pieces of batting the same size as the glass and put it behind the embroidery. It poofed out just enough and then I replaced the cardboard backing. There is no glass on the front.
It looks cute next to my notions. I don't know if I can stick pins in it....
One more FW block complete. I think there will be more this weekend.

ReplyDeleteLove your FW blocks! I've made two FW's and feel like I should start another....when it's over and done, it feels kind of empty not to be making them. Cute pincushion! XO
ReplyDeleteLove the FW basket block. I don't know what it is about baskets...but I love them. The embroidered pincushion is so adorable. Not sure I could poke pins into it either. But it looks great.
