Another Pin Cushion
Yesterday was my monthly “girlfriend craft day.” As usual we met at my parents’ place, then we all went out for dim sum. Afterward we settled down for crafting. We yakked about all sorts of stuff including recent news like the oil spill to Mel Gibson’s rants, heheh. Yes, I admit I stooped down to Hollywood smut this past week. . .
I worked mostly on my Donna Dewberry Grapevine Wreath, but still have a lot of work to go before it’s finished. So, for now I wanted to just share a few pics of something that I did finish the week. . . another pin cushion. This is what it looked like just before I assembled it.
This is what it looked like completed.
I found this pattern for free online. It’s called a biscornu. I used Christmas colors because I thought it would be small enough to use as a Christmas ornament. Ordinarily both the front and back are stitched with designs, but I only did the top side because I didn’t know if I was going to be able to assemble it properly and didn’t want to waste more stitching time. I’m happy that I was able to assemble it okay, so I plan to do more varieties of these. Here’s what it looks like from the side.
And here’s another angle of it.
I definitely want to try more of these and use other fabrics as well such as linen and even felt. We’ll see how they go and maybe I’ll post pics of them if I can get to them.
