"Flower Basket" Pincushion
I made this enormous pincushion yesterday. I had originally planned on applique-ing flowers on the top, but I decided on circles instead (that took long enough). It's still a flower basket, anyway. Here it is naked:
And here it is all dressed up:
I couldn't stop myself from being compulsive about the pin placement. My daughter was helping me put the pins in and I found myself saying things like, "Flower pins go here, sweetie." I have some ideas of things I would like to make out of the rest of the felt. I also found another appropriate fabric for Tie One On that I would like to use with the one I have, but I am having trouble coming up with an interfacing that is lightweight, but opaque. I tried to ask at the fabric store, but I was one of my local fabric stores where the employees tend to be crabby, and got no help. I will have to try again at the friendly, happy fabric store.
