More Mail Goodies!!!

I received the sweetest package from Cathy yesterday. You will have to forgive me for not posting sooner, my grandmother passed away on the 18th and it's been really hard on our family.
This pincushion is so sweet and the design is stitched over one on what looks like 28ct even weave. My Cathy you are brave !!



Cathy also enclosed all of these wonderful goodies !! I really needed a nice pair of snips too. Thank you so much Cathy , you are the sweetest !!

I love mail !!

I received these in today's mail !! They are just the cutest little things. They were made for me by Cathy who is my partner in both the pincushion and ornament exchanges.She designed the pattern for the pincushion herself, I just wish I was 1/2 that talented!



Somehow Cathy found out that I collect reindeer ornaments !! I love this one, I have never seen this pattern before. The trim on this is so pretty, it's a white and gold cording. Thank you so much Cathy I will always cherish these.

Another Finish

This was such a fun little stitch ! It is for my other swap partner Cathy - yes both of my partners are named Cathy :) This is my first attempt at a Biscornu and I have to say that I just love making them. I'm sure you will see plenty more of them on this blog in the future!!

Finished Pincushion

This came out way to cute. I just love it and hope that Cathy enjoys it!! It was a bit of a pain to put together but I think that was because I left to much of a seam allowance and did not clip my corners. I think I am going to try to do a simple biscornu next then after that I found a pattern for a 15 sided blackwork bisconu that I want to have a shot at.

What I am stitching

I am hosting a pincushion swap over on the 123 message board. I stitched this up this weekend , it is a freebie and will be turned into a mattress style pincushion for my swap partner Cathy S. I hope to have it all sewed together by tonight so that I can start on her ornament as I also have Cathy as a partner in the ornament exchange.
Below you can see all of the pieces needed. I will be stitching some information on the backing piece. This was such a fun little stitch that I have decided that I need one for myself :) As soon as I finish with my obligations I will be working on one for me!!
