Look what I received in the mail yesterday. I was so excited about getting a package. I opened it up to find fabric, rick rack, buttons, trim, flower and a paper mache cup. This pincushion is called "Cupcake Pinkeep" by Blackbird Designs. What a sweet name I had to start on it right away. This is my 5th BOM pincushion but it will be the second one I've done...if I finish it. From reading the directions there is painting and gluing to be done on the cup. I hope I can make my look as sweet as a cupcake.
Here is the block that will be the top of the pincushion, can you see the star in the centre?. I couldn't believe I made 1" finished half square triangles (the blocks is 6" finished). If I had thought about it longer I might not have made such a fiddly block but it's done now and I only needed to make one. Next I need to cut a circle with a small plate to gather and form the top of the cup cake. I hope it turns out when I'm done.
I love gettting quilty things in the mail. I did not know that they had a pincushion bom. I may just have to check it out. LOL. Thank for stopping by my blog. I like the way the blcok looks it will be fun to cut it up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea - a pincushion BOM. Where did you find that product? I like the block for this pincushion. I can't wait to see the finished pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteI've been receiving the monthly pin cushions also but sadly I have not made one. This one has me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the Chocolat charm packs. I have a ton of charm packs and if you don't mind I'd like to mimic your idea?!?!?!? Please!
BTW, I love your style of quilts!
Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't respond to your e-mail, I'm sorry to post a response here. :-) As soon as I finished reading your blog I started sorting through my stacks of charm packs to make a charm quilt like yours. I love it. I have several packs of Chocolat and others. HMMMMM - thinking, thinking, thinking. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun monthly project. I like that it can be finished in the month -- I seem to lose interest in BOM's waiting for the quilt to be complete. I will definitely check kout this plan.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this monthly pin cushion club also. I did the one from Country Threads and love it. Can't wait to see this cupcake. Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Buggybarn site and was able to see the cupcake pincushion. It really is cute. Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you order your wool online from?
