I saw this on the cover of the Spring 09 Quilts & More, and just had to make one! Took me all morning, with the usual interruptions when DH is home. It uses Timtex to stand up, but I used scraps since the pieces were only 3 1/8" wide, and I don't have it stuffed yet. We'll go looking for crushed walnut shells later, I'd like to try those.

Here's a link to the cover of the magazine:

This is just too cute!! Great job!!

Thats cute, looks good enough to eat
:D

How cute!!! I havent seen that one before!!!! Cute, Cute!! :D

Too cute. Making it look like a layered cake,....lol I'd be tempted to take a bite though.

Oh yum! Chocolate cake! This is very cute. I love sewing accessories.

Cute! You can put a lot of pins in that one!

That's too cute!!!

Oh gee...you are making me hungry for cake! That is sooo cute, thanks for sharing the link!

It does look like a slice of cake! Great job.

that is too cute and to think you were able to make it from scraps you had on hand. Looks good enough to eat :lol: I haven't heard of stuffing with crushed walnut shells before.
Great job :!:

That is sooo cute!! And you made the flower on top of it too? :-)

How SWEET! Thanks for the link. I think it looks lovely! Good enough to eat! :lol:

That's adorable but I could'nt have it in my sewing room because I'd always be hungery for chocolate cake! Nice job!!

Roben, that is so cute. You did such a wonderful job. Looks better than most cakes I bake.

Don't eat it....!!! Its cute :lol:

That is just too cute--and non-caloric, too!!

Looks good enough to eat.

I JUST BOUGHT THAT MAGAZINE to make that pincushion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your slice of cake looks delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too cute!

Cheers
Andrea

oooh just imagine making a bunch of those slices and putting them on a cute cake stand in your sewing room!!!! How cute that would be!

Now THAT is cute! You did a really nice job on it, too.
I would love to make one of those or a cupcake one.

You know, if someone was going to make some of those to add to their items for a craft show, it wold be really pretty to make a bunch and arrange them together to appear as a whole...for styling. I don't know what size it is, but it might take quite a large plate to put them on to really set it off!

Thanks for that link, too. I will definately be saving that link.

YUM!! Looks great!!

Yummy! I think I need a piece of cake. :wink:

Now, that's DARLING!

Ooooooooooohhhm, wouldn't a plate of those done in the bride's colors be cute for a wedding shower!

How cute and yummy looking! I love cake. Great job!

YEAH! They'd make wonderful party favors or even prizes for the games!

I have this magazine and would love to try it, but I have never worked with a pattern before and know that I would screw it up royally. Maybe some day I will try it.

Great job on yours, looks good enough to eat!

Kyia :-)

Kyia....you'll never know until you try. Try it...I bet it's easier than you actually think it is!

Found the magazine at Hobby Lobby yesterday and used my coupon! I plan to try the cake pincushion after I go to a local guild quilt show! Have to celebrae National Quilting Day! :lol: :lol:

looks very testy :lol:

Kyia, Terri is right - trust me, if I can do it so can you! You just PM me if you get stuck. Everyone deserves a big piece of cake :lol:

Thank you all for your kind comments - I appreciate them all! I really like the idea of wedding favors - more so than my DD LOL!!!

WOW! with all these cake slices floating around here, we'll all end up looking like big ole' ...chocolate cakes!

hi again! Which magazine is the cake slice pattern in? Is it a recent publication?

It's in the Spring 2009 issue of Better Homes & Gardens Quilts and More magazine - I picked it up last week :-)

Thank-you, I'll watch for the issue next time I'm at the supermarket. Another cute and simple pincushion is making a big yo-yo. For those who may not know, it's a circle of fabric, any size you want, sew a running stitch around the edge, stuff the circle and then draw up the thread making a soft round ball. Use a button in the middle and sew center to back. Ta-da! Cute little pincustion. You may add a florist leaf or two by the button and then it's a fat flower. :)

I went to the Navy Exchange today looking for that magazine. They used to carry about 6 different ones. When I went to the rack....NONE!! I asked the lady that worked in the book dept what happened to 1/2 the magazines they had and she said they downsized because most weren't being sold. LIAR!! They were being sold. What they did was to take out 4 rows of books and consolidated to make room for a stupid wide screen tv display by Sony. UGH!!!

Oh, I get upset when a store does that and it's generally a decision made from the top management who doesn't always know what is selling depending on the store location. I think Walmart and the fabric area is a good example of that. I hear some Walmarts don't carry fabrics any more. The WM I shop at a lot have been talking about taking out their fabrics but so far its still hanging in there. It's a superstore so maybe that makes a difference. I'll make the magazine area my first stop when I go shopping this coming week. I want to make a couple cake pincushions for birthday gifts, especially for my 'plump' friends who 'wintered' over pretty good. (I should talk, LOL)
