Thank you to all who visited and commented on this post. I have been out of town so I did not choose a winner for the pincushion until today. I used the Random Number Generator to choose and the number was number 26. Tammy, you are the winner! I will email you to see where to send it.
When I first heard about the Where Flowers Bloom Blog Hop at Creatin' in the Sticks I thought of a few projects I had here at home that involved flowers or fabric with flowers. I thought it was the perfect time to get started on these projects and join the hop. I was able to complete two projects. First I will share The Abbey Bag by Abbey Lane Quilts. I was part of a Pincushion of the Month club a few years ago at Shabby Fabrics. This was one of the kits I had not worked on up to now. I also had time to make something to giveaway to a visitor to this post.
A pincushion and thread or scrap bag is what I will use it for. I could be used to hold whatever you need close by while sewing.
I had so much fun with the kit and I love the bright and cheerful fabrics. While cutting out the firs pincushion, I decided to make another pincushion to give away to one of my visitors to this post.
I did not have time to make the bag with this pincushion but this flower pincushion could be a cheerful addition to any sewing space. Leave a comment if you are interested in winning this pincushion, be sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you win.
The other project I made was a bed runner, also made from a kit. It was fun to piece the log cabin blocks and oh so simple with pre-cut fabric pieces. It was a relaxing project and quick to complete.
I did a bit of straight line quilting, I can always use the practice.
I love adding striped fabric as binding.
This little bed runner is brightening up our room for now. I have binding to put on the quilt that will replace it. I will have no problem finding a place to use this runner.
Don't forget to leave a comment, anyone is welcome to enter to win the blue pincushion. I will choose a winner on Monday and update this post.

ReplyDeleteLove your bed runner and Abbey Bag! So summery and unique! I need to sew a few more pin cushions. Thanks for the chance to win one, peterstankovich@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteThat is an adorable flower pincushion! Certainly brightens the sewing space!
ReplyDeleteSherry, you are blessed with children and grandchildren! I cannot imagine that many and know what a blessing it is. My mother and father were each only children and my brothers each married girls who were an only child, so we have a very small clan. When I was in grade school, I attended a one room school where I was the only girl in my grade, so again very small. We had 30 children in the entire school. I learned to be an introvert because I was overshadowed by those around me. I am very content to sit and sew in solitude and love it. I adore your bedrunner and the pincushion/bag is wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win the pincushion. I love pincushions. susan.dietrich@cox.net Blessings to you for the work you do for literacy.
ReplyDeleteSherry, how cute that pincushion and bag are! And a nice kit out of the box and into a finish. I'd love to win the companion pincushion. Those colors are right up my alley! The bed runner is gorgeous, too. I like the soft colors and the greens in your pillows that pull the green out of the runner. Mary Ellen Hopkins told us at a lecture we should always bind wit stripes. =) dezertsuz at gmail
ReplyDeleteSherry, You little blossom pincushions are adorable! That bed runner is sew pretty too. With 22 grandchildren, you must be busy sewing something for them all the time.

ReplyDeleteYour pincushions are sweet. What a wonderful gift idea for fellow quilters. I'm amazed at all of the projects you completed.
