A new pincushion

Every sewer needs a new pincushion!

I regularly read dearfii blog, one of my favorites. Fi has had a tutorial for her pincushion published HERE on the Living Creatively Community.

A nice quick and useful project. Would make a lovely gift too.

I've added the black border to the Ride 'em Cowboy quilt. Next step is to add the appliques.

Possum and Merino Longies

70% Wool and 30% Possum Fur
Knit on 5mm needles
Hip 50cm rise 45cm and inside leg 19cm

Not sure what I'm doing with these. They may end up as Michael's I do love the feel of them, they are very soft. Or they could end up in the store.

Ride 'em Cowboy!

He's such a happy little cowboy.

Pete's home! I abandoned my children and headed into my shed for a few hours of piecing bliss. This is a commission piece and is destined to be a cot quilt. The next step will be a black border, only 1 1/2 inches. Then I will jazzy things up with a little applique. No specific idea yet but, something cowboyish.

I'm going to applique and quilt at the same time. I have a nice piece of bamboo batting in the shed, just perfect for this quilt.

This is the wool I dyed up a couple of days ago. The colour in real life is a little darker.
