Pear pincushion

Well I still needed something easy to do after I finished hemming the day of the week towels, so I pulled out a pincushion pattern that I purchased sometime last month. It's a Heather Bailey pattern and it went together very well, although I should have stuffed it a bit fuller. Oh and don't pay attention to the mess in my work space...please....lol...I have to clean it this afternoon.

 

Plus I was jealous that I didn't win the pretty pear pincushion that Jean from Linen and Raspberry gave away last week...really I was! If you haven't visited Jean's blog you really should. She takes beautiful pictures and she also makes wonderful quilts and she's met Janet from Quiltsalott in person.
Janet is an applique master and I would love to sit and just watch her work!

Okay I've got to get busy now....Have a wonderful weekend world!

Oh Rannette I'm sorry you didn't win either cos your comment made me laugh.
Hey I was only thinking last night I would love to sit and watch Janet stitch her applique, she makes it sound so easy, and believe me its not and I don't seem to get that same lovely even finish that she does. :-)
Have a great weekend and happy stitching.

Your pear is so cute!

I'd love to see more pictures of your work space; messy or not.

I'm like you in that I love watching other people do their thing. I learn a lot by watching and chatting.

Your pear is adorable.

Sorry you didn't win the one that you wanted but it certainly inspired something wonderful.
