Thread: Babushka pincusion pattern from Quiltmaker Magazine

Hello! I just stumbled across this forum, and thought it may be a good place to post this....

I don't do very much quilting, but I do sew, knit, crochet, and all that jazz. A co-worker who does quilt was talking about a Babushka pincushion that she got on Etsy a couple of years ago. There are no more available, but in the item description it says that the dolls were featured in Quiltmaker Magazine. No other information is given.

I would love to surprise her and make her doll a "sister" for Christmas. I'm wondering if this pattern sounds familiar to any of you who are familiar with the magazine? I have tried to search online and find nothing.

Any help anyone would be willing to provide in pointing me in the right direction would be MOST appreciated. Below is a picture. I did shoot an e-mail to the seller on Etsy, but it I don't know how active she still is....

Thanks a ton!

The Babooshka pincushion dolls are shown in the Sept/Oct. 2007 issue of Quiltmaker. The dolls are made by Janice Hartwell, selling for $12.95. Her e-mail address is jnicehart@comcast.net. Hope thism helps.

This is my doll. My new email is jnicehart@gmail.com.

WOW you guys are fast!!! Interestingly enough, I DID get a fairly immediate response from Janice. She told me that she hasn't made the dolls in quite awhile, and did not use a pattern. BUT, they are basically made of circles that are stuffed and gathered, and that they shouldn't be too hard to re-create. So that's what I'm going to try to do!

Thank you for the information, and MistyMarie for your offer! That is too kind of you! I should be fine working from the picture that I posted. I'm glad I came across this board. I love looking at people's creations, and just might be inspired to take another crack at a quilt!

My email address is now jnicehart@gmail.com. I've started making them again.
