A Parade of Pincushions

A Parade of Pincushions!!

Hey, there's a parade going on... and it is a Parade of Pincushions!!
My Sister Made Me is the host.....


Click here to go see the Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade at My Sister Made Me !
     
I have been known to make a pincushion or two... ( Is is ok to have a parade in honor of my addiction ?!   )         

 So let the parade begin!

 First in my parade lineup , are the cute and functional  Deluxe Pincushions   ( from the "Sew Organized for the Busy Girl  " book.  I kept the first one, in  these cute Bonnie and Camille fabrics , and gave the others as gifts.

Oh, here are some stragglers.... more Deluxe Pincushions!  I made these with applique,  for the Crafted Applique' Book Blog Hop . ( by  Lara at BuzzinBumble )

 Second in the parade, is a super plump "combination" pincushion... the  " Be My Valentine Heart " Mr Snowman pincushion.  It is made from these patterns:  side A is  the "Be My Valentine Heart Mug Rug" by Amy Made That! ; And side B is  the Mr Snowman Block by Lori Holt.

 The next pincushion is  a tea bag pincushion.  I made this pincushion up,  for the Pin It Blog Hop! My designer friend, Amanda, The Patchsmith,  helped me with the design!

 Look out.... this next unit in the parade is a big one!  I made these delectable strawberry pincushions from Fig Tree & Co 's " Strawberry Shortcake" pattern!  They are made from my huge Fig Tree & Co fabric stash! See the scrappy ones?

Here's a rowdy little group... that little flock of Bird Pincushions!      This is a pattern by by Joel Dewberry  (here).  I often use these birdies as a paper weight, as I fill my pincushions with crushed walnut shells to make them heavy.

It looks like my last unit in this parade is rounding the corner... in perfect step!  It's the Prettified Pincushion,  from the "Patchwork , Please !" book .  A little bit of Zakka and paper piecing is such fun!!   I love these Denyse Schmidt orange and blues together!!

    OMG, you have such a wonderful assortment of pincushions. I guess my favorite is the "Prettified Pincushion" but those chickens are so adorable too. And the hearts...Oh my, they're all lovely.

    Is there a Pinny Addicts step program? If so you really need to sign up. I love my Sew Organised pincushion - it is so handy having a place for my needlework scissors. I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the heart - how clever to combine Amy's clever pattern. And then the strawberries - oh my - delicious. I remember the birds - that was a clever little pattern too (and free if I remember correctly). Okay - time to stand up and repeat after me .... "my name is Susie and I'm a pin cushion addict".

    Oh Wow, Susie! Thank you for sharing all your pincushions! I love them all! But reeeaaaaally ...... those strawberries .... and the punnet .... and, oh my! a teabag !!!!!! and what a pretty teacup or is it a pot?

    I won a copy of Lara's book, but have only used her idea once so far on my Sewing Machine SS block. Will definitely be using her method again

    Thank you for visiting my Pincushion Parade!

    Wow. They're a lively and beautiful bunch! I particularly love the birds and the snowman in the heart. But I must say that I love them all. :-)

    You make the cutest pincushions! The ones with the little pockets and the little teabag are my favourites.
