Made myself a Biscornu pincushion today using this tutorial.
Fabric is from the Wonderland range by MoMo.
Also using the same fabrics (2 charm packs and a jelly roll plus some linen from Amitie), I made this quilt top .....
Now I just need to baste, quilt and bind. No biggie!!
Aaaaargh!!!
Also, I made another one of these for another gift .....
A couple of people have asked me for a tutorial on this one. It's in the pipelines but I haven't yet perfected the method.
Need to make a couple more, me thinks.
(What is the ettiquette for offering a tutorial for something that wasn't your idea in the first place?)
On the back, I gave it a label .... (Sorry about the blurry shot).
To make the label, I used this tutorial that I found via Bec's blog.
That's all for now.
I'm off to bed.
Happy stitchin'.
Andi :-)
Oh I love the scissor fabric on the pincushion!I love these gifts you are making. If you got the original idea but made up your own pattern and variation, email the person you got the idea from and ask if they mind you doing a tut and offer to link back. They'll usually be flattered and be happy about you asking permission, explain your changes.
ReplyDeleteooh, great label! I have to admit, I couldn't join the 2 lines together, that's why I have only 1 line! A bit computer illiterate sometimes!Amazing quilt top, too, such tiny squares! I had to stop tonight, blunt rotary cutter driving me nuts!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your wonderland creations!! The quilt top is so fun with all the prints :0
ReplyDeleteOh wow! You have been very productive! Love the pin cushion and the quilt! Also love how you used the linen fabric. Fabulous!

ReplyDeleteGoodness, you've been busy making gorgeous things! Thanks for sharing the tutorial links and your inspiring creations.
ReplyDeleteAndi - I LOVE this! What darling fabric too. What is it?
ReplyDeleteJust realized I didn't specify which fabric I was talking about - the crayon book one. Also, your quilt top is awesome. I'm in love with the Wonderland collection! I have 2 charm packs at home ready to make a coin quilt with.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the quilt top! Great use of the fabric packs xox
ReplyDeleteGreat work! That quilt top is beautiful, and the woman going mad is a hoot!
ReplyDeletethat scissors fabric is talking to me in so many crafts. I love everything you posted in here. The notepad thingy is really cute and I think that although other crafters had made them you still can offer your own "how to" tutorial which I will totally take to make some of those for the fairies.
ReplyDeleteLove it all! I want to know how to make one of those little coloring packs!
ReplyDeleteOh and I love the fabric you chose for your quiltalong!
Hi Andi! The quilt top is lovely as always!!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteyummo - that quilt is soooo cute!! And I know your sentiment about quilting and binding - arg! But sooooo worth it!! =]
ReplyDeleteI am going to go check out that label tutorial now - intriguing!!
Love the Momo quilt top - such a wonderful fabric range! I am sure the art portfolio will be a most welcome gift!
ReplyDeleteLove those cars! Yes, off to Melbourne, serviced apartment for 2 - 3 weeks while we find somewhere. Not going to be easy finding a place with 2 kids in tow but it shouldn't be too bad! Thinking Prahan, Prahan East, Malvern, St Kilda or Elwood.
ReplyDeletelove love love your quilt, super super gorgeous.
