This little pincushion is my first attempt at English paper piecing. I made it at a retreat a few years ago. Each piece is tacked onto card and then two pieces are whip-stitched together. Evidently your stitches aren't supposed to show, but mine do, a lot. I didn't think I would ever make another but I did. I gave it away in a Secret Santa and I only have a non-digital photo of it. Same thing only softer colours.

This is the other side. I do use this one and now with the passage of time I am open to the idea of making another one... sometime.

Happy Stitching!

Corbie's Pincushion

This little beauty was made by my number two daughter Corbie. Felt and machine stitched. About 2003.

First Post

Thought I might start a blog dedicated to pincushions. Will tweak and get it up and running in the new year. I might consider multiple authors. Will have to think about it and see what kind of interest there might be.

Cheers
