I thought I would do some sewing when I got home but being a bit tired..I just thought I would finish some pin cushions that I had started.... thought I would should them to you - I love the fabric so much....

The front of the pin cushions is an embroidered Velvet fabric from England....I was able to make 4 of the Ivory, 2 of the Caramel and 1 of the Lagoon....

The backs of the pin cushions are the same as the front fabric - but not embroidered.

The Ivory and Caramel ones are 5 1/2" x 6"....
the Lagoon is 5 1/2" x 6 1/2".

Now I think I will have a bit of lay-me-down time in front of the t.v. :-)

Hope you are all having a great evening!

Bill

Those are yummy, love vevet, thanks for sharing. Origin of fabric please? Where in England?

cool, thanks for sharing with all of us

Beautiful!

THe fabric is from a company in England called SHEILA COOMBES.

The name of the fabric is ISTAN,,,it is an exclusive home decor fabric available just to the decorator and designer trade.....I was fortunate to have some smaller cuts...this fabric retails here in Canada for $478.00/Yard...(No, I didn't make a mistake.. :-)

The fabric is 57% Viscose, 31% Cotton, 12% Polyester

I also love velvets - and this one is so beautiful and the handfeel is so rich..it was such a pleasure to work with this one.

Wow! Bill those are fabulous. Any quilter would be proud to have 1 of those.

Very Pretty do you sell them? If not you should!

:-).."THANKS"......

I haven't decided to sell these yet but they may be avaiable eventually :-) If I do, they will be announced on the buy-n-sell thread......

Very pretty pin cushions.

Beautiful pin cushions!

oooooh I like 'em! Have been resisting making pin cushions. Don't know why. Yours might tip me over the edge!

Elegant.

I love making pin cushions...I always did - don't know why - but whever it's velvet, felted wool, just left over quilting cottons..I have always been into pin cushions.......I think they are a blast and so much fun..

Gorgeous fabric, and hope you decide to sell them to us.

Those are awesome. They look so rich. Wonderful job and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful cushions and beautiful work!!

I don't have a pin cushion. I used to have those red and green ones but they've been long gone for years. I guess I should make myself one since I'm always looking for the "dish" of pins. lol

How elegant looking to be so practical!

WoW, great pin cushions. What did you stuff them with?

really cute!

Stuffing is polyester stuffing...

.

Cute they are.

they are gorgeous!!!

Oh those look too elegant to put pins in!! They are beautiful.
I think I would have to get pins with the pearl heads on them to use in those.

Wow Bill those are so elegant mmmmm they are so wonderful :!: :shock: :D

Those are so beautiful...amazing job.!!

those are beautiful! nice fabric choice.

Love them! So well made!

Love them! So well made!

Lovely little things, beautiful colours and fabric :)

Elegant and classy! The idea of using just pearl headed pins sounds like a perfect pair.

Beautiful I love your avitar also. Pattern please?

sewmein....
The pattern is an original of mine and is for sell in the buy and sell section.....it is a part of my RUNNER-OF-THE-MONTH program..this is February's "A TIME FOR LOVE"....

Those are way cool. Love the fabric!!!!! It's so funny because if you didn't have the pins in them I would have sworn they were decorative pillows! Nice job!!!!

I do have a bigger piece of the fabric that I am wondering if perhaps I would make myself a decorative pillow...funny that you would say that.... :-)

They are beautiful. Do ever sell them?

Thanks Twixbar...
I am planning on eventually selling these..I have another color or so to make up - then will perhaps make them available....

I would buy one if you decide to sell. They are gorgeous! What do you stuff them with?

KathyKat,,,
These are stuffed with polyester polyfil...nice and plump!

Classy!

This is the 4th colway that I still have left to work on - Raspberry....will make the pin cushions in this one on the weekend.
