Wow...2 posts in 2 days, that's a record for me. I made this layer cake pincushion yesterday. It's so cute and sweet, look girls you can have cake and not worry about the calories. I had plans to make the cupcake pincushion in the book but when I read the directions and there was a margarine container in the supply list and then I kept reading about easing the fabric to fit the container...yuck, I quickly decided it wasn't going to happen...way too fussy for me. I'll pick something that I know will be fun and easy.
You can find the pattern in this book. Have fun making "cake". I think I'll make more cake today.
These are really cute! Do they have a nice one for wrists? The commercial ones in plastic with black blob on the top don't fit well and leave much to be desired in attractiveness!! Maybe a piece of cake would look good?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pincushion! I have to say I am loving the quilt on the front cover. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion is just adorable! Enjoy making more of 'em :^)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the pics from your last post of your birthday goodies and the fabric shop. Looks like you had a real good time! Cheers!
Sweet!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it ... and its perfect...no calories at all...you probably lost some just making it...lol..:o)
ReplyDeleteOh how cute is that! I love it! My friend at Miss Mary's was talking about this book.
ReplyDeleteCute as cute can be!
ReplyDeleteThose pincushions are so cute! I love your fabric choices. I am going to have to try those out. I need an updated pincushion.
ReplyDeleteOh Wendy -- that's adorable! And what a fab friend you are to make the birthday girl's day!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely darling, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteCute little cakes. I'm glad you shared. I love that quilt on the front of the book as well. When will you be whipping that one up? LOL
ReplyDeleteOh...and must comment about Karen's birthday! OMG Wendy...what a sweet package she received and the wool backpack is just oozing with charm! I love that!! (hint....ok you already spoiled me but I can dream)
How cute that turned out! I wouldn't worry about following directions when that one looks so great.
ReplyDeletehow cute. these would be great for someone like me who has a gazillion different types of pins. could keep them neatly seperated from each other.
ReplyDeletejulie :)
Yummy! What a cute idea.
ReplyDeleteWendy that is adorable. I love it!!!!! Love that fabric too.
ReplyDeleteLove your pincushion stack. The pink fabric in the middle is really cute.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and look forward to reading your post.
That is so pretty. I wouldn't want to put something plastic in a pincushion either! I like the quilt on the cover of the book as well. Oh, and a belated happy birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take a small piece, please. Looks edible to me.
ReplyDeleteFound your wonderful blog through "My Yellow Farmhouse". Hope to continue to stop by for visits.
Oh too yummy looking!!! That is cutest idea! : )
ReplyDeleteNow this looks like a fun place to come and visit..... lots of interesting things to look at and to read.
ReplyDeleteI love the word 'snippets'...so of course I was drawn to your title when I saw it on someone else's site.
Although I'm not a quilter I love admiring the creative beauties other people make.
You'd be welcome to stop by my place... I enjoy writing about living a beautiful life.
The cake looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy. That is just too cute. Love those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteAdorable pin cushions! I'm with you on margagine containers. heck! It'd be expensive cuz I'd have to go out and buy a container! lol I wonder if paper mache wound boxes would work. I have one of those! ;o)
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable Wendy! What a cute idea :)
