What a busy day I had!
First I quilted this top for a friend.
Very springy fabric ... except that it's a Christmas quilt. I did an over-all, free-motion design of leaves and poinsettias.
Then I had to get something together to take to my quilt guild annual dinner - tonight. Not good planning on my part ... no planning, actually. No time to bake (should have done this first, then quilted). So - sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Easy and yummy!
Then, Harleigh asked to go for a walk. This is AFTER the walk.
No time for a nap for me!
And ... because I have SO much time in my day, I decided to make this ...
Donna gives me the nicest gifts! This is a pincushion kit that she gave me when we went to MQX last month. It's about 7" round and VERY cute. In making the pinwheel, there ended up being a 2nd set of 1/2 square triangles. Sew ... there will be a second pincushion in the future.In the spirit up full-disclosure ... the pattern calls for (and the kit came with) embroidery. I used pigma pens and drew it instead of stitching it. I did add some stitching to the seam lines.
I have 35 minutes left to kill before leaving for my meeting ... going to work on a sock.

I thought the designs were part of the fabric print, that came out really nice with the pens.

Wow, you're making me tired :) By the way, I love the Christmas quilt, and the quilting is perfect!
Boy you put me to shame with all that you have accomplished! Great work
Boy! I didn't realize that that pin cushion was sooooo big! I hope you have some cute hat pins to stick in it!
The quilt is beautiful! And your pincushion is adorable :)
