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: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/magazi...ontents_1.html This one was a lot of fun, and a nice break from the UFOs :D |

|
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 :!: |
Very cute! I'd have to keep running out for a bite of sweets though.
|
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!!
|

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!

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)
