why do i have the feeling that poor mousie is going to have to support a lot of weight with his tail? lol, can't wait to see!

cheese please (and a mouse)
 

Thia is the awesome pincushion I received yesterday from nancia.

Isn't it just the cutest little mouse you ever seen? of course I am
biased because it was made for me. LOL

Now nancia you was wondering how I would hang my wedge of cheese
and its companion the mouse? I use 6 strand embroidery floss and thread
it into the pincushion or tie it around it some how, but I manage to get it
set for hanging.

I need to move ALL of my pincushions to the wall next to my window
(and below my clock) so I can have them all in one place.

Now to show you a wall hanging that I made the day before mom passed.
I was supposed to "work" a booth at the Bird Expo in Denver last weekend
so I was making things that I could sell.
Sadly though nobody purchased this wall hanging.

Oh well guess I will try to sell it in my artfire studio or some other way.
It is approximately 20"x20"

The second photo shows more detail about how I did the quilting on it
(kept it pretty simple actually).
There is a rod pocket to hang it with but if a person wanted to use it as
a table topper guess they could do that too since it is made so the rod
pocket doesn't interfere with that.

quick question, how big or little I should say is that mousie?????

Love the pincushion. Its so so cute!

Really cute cheese and mouse pincushion. Louise you should sometime when you have all your pincushions lined up on the shelf take a picture for us to see. It would be fun.

The mouse is about 1.5"

wow, that is one tiny mouse!

i thought he looked pretty big, sitting on that cheese!lol
i had a piece of foam and thought it would make cute and useful cheese. i also had the fabric in the 2 yellows. under the quilting fabric is a layer of batting also.

beautiful birds, louise. do you, by chance, have any as pets?

Received my needlecase from Nancia! It's beautiful, I love it and it now lives in my sewing basket! Thanks Nancia!

Nanci,

No I don't have any birds, but my co-worker has over 30 birds of various
kinds and sizes.

I also have a cousin in NC who has a few birds one of which I KNOW is an
Umbrella Cockatoo and another is a Moluccan Cockatoo. I did of couple
embroidery designs last summer for them.
