Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade 2020

It's time for the Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade!!

Click HERE to join us!

I am so excited for this year's parade! I have gone out of my comfort zone and created some pincushions that I never would have thought I could do before!

Thank you so much to my aunt, Ida, My Sister Made Me do it..., for hosting this fun parade!

Dun dun dun dun! Here we go:

This one was a "piece of cake!' (Not really, it was actually very difficult for me, but I am really happy with how it turned out!) I made this one for my mom, ...and the little sister follows, for her birthday, which is today! Happy birthday, mama!!

This next one was made for my by my aunt, Irene. Check out her blog- Hilachas! I really love it because it has a loop in the back for hanging and also a small pocket in the front for your scissors! It's so pretty, too!

Next, is another one of my creations! A cheeseburger, yummy! I started to follow a tutorial, and instead decided to just do it on my own, the way I wanted 😜

Next, a lovely "shabby chic" tomato made by my mom! I just love this one!

Another one made by my mom. I just LOVED this one when I saw it and asked her if I could have it...she said yes!

These next three are mini pincushions that were given to me by my aunt, Irene! They are so cute and miniature. I love them!

Next, one of my favorite additions! Made also by my aunt, Irene. A lovely bunch of houses! Aren't they darling?!

Lastly, I have one of my all time favorite characters to complete this pincushion! Mickey Mouse! A special thanks to my aunt, Ida, our wonderful Pincushion Parade host, for giving me all of the materials I needed to make this adorable pincushion and sharing the pinwheel pincushion tutorial! Check it out on her page, here: Pinwheel Pincushion Tutorial

Here is the collection for this year's Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade!

And a special shout out to my entries from our last pincushion parade, just for fun!

Please join us! We'd love to see all of the wonderful pincushions out there!

Potholder Fun

Sewing Exchange Potholders This Month

I tried quilting in a different way, sewing straight lines all the way down.

It was a challenge to keep them straight, but I like the way it turned out!

Also, here are a few of the mini pincushions I sent her. I have so much fun making those :)

Here are the other potholders I have received so far in our sewing exchange. I love them all! So unique and fun. I am so excited to have such a great collection of beautiful potholders!
