Finished: Rainbow Pincushion
As mentioned, this came as part of the Happy Box from Sew Hungry Hippie. Mine is a little wonky, but is still fun. It is also really large. For the moment I am keeping it, but I may end up giving it as a gift.

Rainbow Pincushion Project
I started this Rainbow pincushion after receiving the pieces and parts as part of the Happy Box from Sew Hungry Hippie. The Happy Box is a subscription box, but not a fabric and projects subscription box exclusively. I received my first one towards the beginning of the month and really enjoyed the contents. One of … Continue reading “Rainbow Pincushion Project”
Maureen’s Pincushion
In order to add a gift to Maureen’s bag, I made her a pincushion. Unlike the bag, the pincushion went together very smoothly. I had some of the pieces and parts from my last round of pincushion making on the cutting table. They weren’t crappy, just unused. I picked out some other scraps from the unsorted … Continue reading “Maureen’s Pincushion”
Using Pincushions
I was back in the workroom on Sunday and the pincushions caught my attention. I thought that I would share the way I work with them. I have two pincushions that I use. I keep one next to my sewing machine and one on my cutting table. I could move one pincushion from one place … Continue reading “Using Pincushions”
Pincushions
I was sort of in the mood to make something small and wanted to give a small gift to the Retreat Committee, because I had a great time at the Retreat. And because making stuff is fun. Pincushions are fun and I enjoy making them. I was completely thrilled, because I made these in between … Continue reading “Pincushions”
New Pincushion – Wonderclip Holder
Can a person ever have too many pincushions? This is the thought running through my mind as I decided what else to make for my second group of gifts. You might remember the Pincushion / Wonderclip Holders I made for the guild officers. I really like this pattern and decided to make another one to … Continue reading “New Pincushion – Wonderclip Holder”
Pincushion Gifts
I wasn’t be at the guild meeting yesterday, which made me sad. Kelly, of the Kelly bag fame, pinch hit for me with the officer gift bags. Thanks, Kelly. Many guilds give their officers quilts as thank you gifts. I am of the mind that we all have enough quilts, but a tote bag (simple … Continue reading “Pincushion Gifts”
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 … Continue reading “Gift Post: Pincushion”
MQG Pincushion Swap Update
You might remember that I made a pincushion for a Modern Quilt Guild swap (and sent me into an orgy of pincushion making), which was organized by the Kansas Modern Quilt Guild. You can see the pincushions that were sent in to swap on Flickr. Not all of them are up there yet, so go … Continue reading “MQG Pincushion Swap Update”
Pincushions
I made a couple of pincushions for the raffle baskets that will be up for raffle at BAMQG. I have decided that I enjoy making these pincushions, so there will be more in my future. I have more of the Sandy Gervaise fabric from the charm pack, so I will make at least one more … Continue reading “Pincushions”
Pincushion Swap
I was really on the fence about the BAMQG pincushion swap. I wanted to try it, but was concerned I would have trouble making it. I didn’t quite know how to deal with the button and I didn’t want to make myself crazy trying to get it right. I decided to participate in the Pincushion … Continue reading “Pincushion Swap”
Fun pincushion
I have been thinking that I would like a small project that I could churn out quickly and would have some use. The gift bags, you ask?? I know, I know. I should get to those. The fabrics in this one are bit boring for me, but can you imagine it in DOTS?!? What else? … Continue reading “Fun pincushion”

Projects, Classes, Patterns & Tutorials Mary C shared an IG reel with me that is very interesting. I like the … Continue reading “Various & Sundry 2023 #9”
Finished: Enigma Bag
Hooray! I finished and I had plenty of time to post it on the blog post to win a prize. I may not win, but hope springs eternal. I like this pouch. It’s interesting, yet normal, so surprising. It packs a punch and isn’t difficult to sew. There are some tricky bits, but it would … Continue reading “Finished: Enigma Bag”
Various & Sundry 2023 #4
Like many other Californians, we have been experiencing a lot of rain. We have, fortunately, had no leaks or flooding or any other problems. We have been stuck inside, which is great for sewing, but not so great for exercise. I hope this is the worst thing I have to deal with. Projects, Classes, Patterns … Continue reading “Various & Sundry 2023 #4”
