Glenn's Pincushion
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]388963[/ATTACH]On 2-11-2011 Glenn posted a picture of a pincushion made by his late MIL. Several members suggested ways of reproducing it, including ghostrider who provided a link to a similar project. This is my attempt using ghostrider's link http://www.personal.psu.edu/axd2/quilt/qlt28.html and her sewing hints. It's my first attempt at EPP and I regret using perle cotton to join the twelve star units. Too difficult to needle and it looks sloppy.

Really nice, looks so complicated.

Did you mean to post a picture? I'm not seeing one. I did go to the link and it was very interesting. May have to try that sometime! :)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]388974[/ATTACH]I did post pictures but they were GIGANTIC, had to delete and try again.

An awesome pincushion!!! It looks like it is really complicated. The stitching makes it "folk-art." Thanks for sharing!

nicely done

Oh i love this. Did you leave the paper pcs in? How big is it finished. Do you use it as a pincushion.
this is a fabulous thingy. I need one.
You did a fab job on it.
any hints for the rest of us who want to try it.

I really like it, great job!!!!

That looks too complicated for my tired, little mind--gorgrous, but complicated.

yes very nice..... looks hard
