Following-up on Christmas

Christmas 2012
Christmas 2012

I received these two gifts related to quiltmaking at Christmas. They are from my mom. She couldn’t resist the fabric (I have pink flamingos in my front flower bed) and the book was on my list.

I am thinking that I will make some pillowcases out of the flamingo fabric.

I am really looking forward to delving into the book and seeing if I have anything in common with the women interviewed.

Thanks, Mom!

Gift Post: Pincushion

I really like making these pincushions. Since they are quick and provide for a nice level of creativity, I probably won’t stop until I have nobody else to whom I can gift one.

They are quick to make, but not boring to make.

I put this one in a box of Christmas gifts for my friend, Julie.

I chose a couple of fabrics with yellow as an alternate to the purple. I think it works for the look.

The pattern is from Fig Tree & Co. It is called Petite Gateau. I have the print version (available at PIQF), but there is a downloadable version available, so you can get it RIGHT NOW! 😉
