That kittie is so cute, I've never seen one like that. Is this your own pattern?
Glad my partners like their pin cushions and needlecases. Looking forward to receiving mine

Oh NO I wish I was that talented! I found it here: http://dollmakersjourney.com/kittykat.html I just used fabric instead of wool and I couldn't get the whiskers to work right so I left them off.

Web site is amazing! Now there is imagination there for sure. Thanks for the link

Aww, such a pretty kitty pincushion.

I am still alive and kicking. Haven't gotten on the board all week and I have missed you all! This is our anniversary weekend. I took today and Monday off. Thought we were going to be able to get away, but DH's work schedule won't allow it. His company provides the trailers for the food for the Bonaroo concert here in Tennessee. He is on call should one of them breaks down so the food doesn't spoil. We did slip off to Kentucky Downs last night after dinner to play the slots. We came back pretty much even with what he took.

I got in the mail a few days ago a package from paintmejudy. LOVE THEM!!!! Thank you!! I looked at both of them for my partners but decided on something different.

Big surprise!!!
 

I am waiting on the ones for this month, but certainly got a BIG surprise in the mail today. A very sweet angel sent me a package for my mia in April. She hid her identity very well but I see the post mark says Ohio. If this is from you angel lady, please know that I appreciate it so much. The needlecase is beautiful and I love the extra's that you sent with it and in my favorite colors of turquoise and purple. A magazine, note pad and pen, 2 FQ's and an extra blade.[ATTACH=CONFIG]417899[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]417900[/ATTACH] It was so thoughtful and I thank you truly.

Jaba, I love that needlecase/pincushion. What a wonderful surprise!!!


Yay!! All of the needlecases are accounted for. We are just waiting on one pincushion. I do know that it is under construction and will be postal in a few days. :)

Woo hoo! Finished off my second pincushion today. Will be swinging by the PO on Monday!

I absolutely love seeing all the beautiful creations!
I received an awesome pin cushion, needle case, sewing box all wrapped into one from Mary Quilting! I cannot say how many times I have drooled over these at craft shows and online photographs and now I have one all of my own! Thank you so incredibly much Mary! I adore it and will definitely be putting this lovely to good use!

Wendy - What a wonderful box you got. LOVE IT!!

Dearest partner I want you to know that your pincushion is
finished although I can NOT show you to many pictures because
I added your name to the top of it.

Here are 2 pictures that I CAN show off for you.

MaryQuilting that is so awesome, can you tell us where you got the pattern?
Quilty Louise I love your little boxes, I'll be waiting for mine ok? Is there a theme for next month? or is it anything we want to make?

I received the same one..I can only describe it as WOW!! It looks so much nicer than the storage container I keep on the side table at the chair where I do my hand sewing. The craftsmanship in this was amazing! I love the way it opens up to show the firecracker--like setting off a firecracker!! I will really treasure this! thanks for posting the picture Ireland dragon--I am having problems getting pictures to load...Thank you again Mary!

Quilty-Louise your box is A D O R A B L E!!! I love it and cannot wait to get it... hehehehe I wish!

Wowsers! You ladies have raised the bar!

Was thinking about a summer theme like treat (watermelon or ice cream) or summer colors (oranges, yellows, or "ocean" blues, etc). What do you girls think?


I agree! I am still a beginner on pincushions!

I got the pattern off pinterest it was in Japaneses but had lots of pictures. This is the link I think

http://blog.sina.com.cn/hana091257 [订阅][手机订阅] that' the right blog but can't find the needle case. she has lots of sewing ideas on lots of pages.

love all the new pincushions being shown, a lot of nice colors, designs and beautiful workmanship.

I love the summer theme food or colors. great choices. when's the signup???

Will post new thread around the 24th. :)

Like the summer theme!

Made my pincushion up. Tried a new version of an idea. Will get ready to send off.

That sounds like a perfect theme to me! Maryquilting I went there, had the computer translate for me, but I couldn't find it on her web site. Have to look some more.

Sent out packages today...2 of them are going to the same state....one to a place I know well...and finally one I wish I could visit....LOL could it be you??

this is the link for the pin cushion box for those interested

Well Pat - one must be for me! Everybody wants to visit central Kentucky, right?! :cool:
Easy, peasy, uh... Japanese-y? Holy cow - I would love to see what you can make when you have 'english' directions Mary!

So excited!!!!! This is my pincushion. She did so awesome!!!!

Suppose I should tell you whomade it? IrelandDragonQuilting did!

Ooooh! I love the boot. I wanted to try and make one but it scared me. Pincushions are my challenge. There is another theme floating, something from your state. Boots would be for county music for me. Just an idea.

When you do decide to make it, the pattern you print out is HUGE! The one I sent to QuilterMomma was shrunk down 50% I like the smaller one better, just my opinion :) It is actually not that hard after you make the first one.

I am so glad you liked it! I worry about that whenever I send something out, I suppose everyone does. But I thought that one just might be right for you :)

Thanks Mary Quilting, wish I could enter it but for some reason my computer says my virus detector will not allow it :(

Dear sp your box is in the mail.

Hope you like the box I made for you.

Same here, I tried a couple translation downloads but my computer warned me away from it. I imagine the measurements are in centimeters, so I think I can figure it out. Want to try it, it is spectacular.

Also, as to the summer theme for August, my vote would be yes -- that is, if this is a voting democracy! LOL

Boy, my photo is blurry, I used my phone last night. It is so adorable, thank you IrelandDragon, and I love the name of your town. I am a former Montana, always in my heart of course, so used to live next door to you.

I mailed my pincushion to my partner, and now I wonder if it should have been something more elaborate seeing how I received such a special cushion. I did try something I had not done before which did turn out and made it more utilitarian. Well, in a couple of days we will see how she likes it, she just better have had her coffee first.

Oohh. I'm intrigued! LOL. I am also afraid mine will be a little plain, QM.

love that boot, I want a pattern for that!!! I love the summer theme, looking for fabs right now, it's a toss up between 2 designs for me. still waiting for my other pc. Islandragonquilting could be my partner again
