I mentioned some time ago that I wanted to make an Airedale pincushion. Being an owner of Tallulah the Airedale. I saw a pin cushion in my local shop - Art and Stitch, that the owner (another Angela) had made and liked the style of the pin cushion. This got my thinking.
I enlarged a picture of an Airedale from Google images and appliquéd it on to hand dyed felt (I bought this rather than making and dying my own)
So that it would keep its shape and not put to much strain on the felt I made a cushion pad and filled it with sawdust - as suggested by Angela. And here it is, I am really pleased with it.
Its quite large so I don't lose it.

You know that I love your Airedale Pin Cushion. Cute, cute, cute. I wouldn't stick him in the belly - he may come alive and you know Airedales.

Love it. It is sew cute. As a former owner of 2 Airedales They have a very special place in my heart.
Our last one is buried out side my sewing room window so I see her spot every day.

Very cute--are you sticking the pins around the doggy motif? Don't want to cause any aches or pains, lol.

OmaForFour 08-10-2011 05:24 AM

As you can see by my Avatar, I have two airedales! They are Sadie and MacDuff, ages 10 and 8 respectively.
I love the pincushion you made. Good job!
