Oh how I was looking forward to making this post. It has been a few days longer than a normal posting for me... The last week has been a busy and full one. I finished my donation for the Auction for Krystal, and it was off in the mail this morning... Our prayers are with her and all involved, and believe all will be well... Thank you so much Tracy and Evelyn for all you do.... I will have pictures of my handmade gift to the Auction on my next post...
I've been busily finishing my pincushions and here they are... It was a joy working with this particular felt after all... I really enjoyed myself. I named the set Pretty In Pink... I even topped the little round one with an embroidered daisy , a good way to get some practice... My favorite are the berries, especially the beaded one... Being my own patterns, I would love to share them by way of a tutorial with you... Hmmmm I do not have a date in mind as yet, but I will keep this at the top of my soon to do list... I am now looking towards completing my PIF winners goodies...
I plan to get some embroidery practice in this week... Alison was kind enough to send me a list of links and product sources. Thank you so much Alison... I really love this craft, and had to ask myself where has it been all my life....But then I know it came into my life just when it was supposed to..(smile).Each of you have a full and wonderful week....

I love your Pretty in Pink set! I think the berry is my favorite because of the beads!
You do such lovely work! I love this Pretty in Pink set. The embroidered daisy is so pretty!

So glad you like mine, too. I love the pincushion. What a talented lady you are. I just don't have the patience for 'fiddly' things. Give me a sewing machine and a straight line to sew and I'm fine ...
Thanks re the award. Wasn't I a lucky girl!
Hope we'll meet up again soon!

Hey! I haven't found you before! Very nice craft. I love the shade of pink...kind of a seashell pink.
They are beautiful. What wonderful coloured felt you have used in this project. They look good enough to eat.

My favorite is the one with the daisy on top! What a pretty color of pink, too!
The way you write is so soothing. I always hear a voice to match. Rich, soothing, calming, comforting...

I love the pretty flower motif on your pincushion.

Just love them! That beaded berry is very fretching...Can't wait for your tutorial! And the daisy pincushion is a charmer too. The pink color is just delicious--like strawberry ice cream! And love your quote at the end here ((HUGS))

Loving the PINK pin cushions! They are sew, sew sweet...
Wow, you're a fantastic seamstress, such lovely designs. Have a good week!
So, so pretty! Or would that be sew, sew pretty? Either way, love them!
I cannot sew at all, but I'm living vicariously in your creations. :<) Lovely pink color. In the last few years, I've found myself just loving that shade of pink. Beautiful.
