Freezing Cold Friday


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 hoarding  saving for a worthy project. The colors in this piece were perfect but it was too big.



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.
