I've been working on a very fun assignment for the last couple of weeks...in case you didn't know - I make pincushions. Now that sounds silly to people who don't sew, but I do, I make them and I like making them (though I had stopped for a while). It was the first "real" thing I made to sell...I started selling that at The Quilter's Inn in Danville ('cause I worked there for a bit, so I got to sell them there), then at a couple of boutiques in the Bay Area. I taught other people how to make them, had patterns, even been part of a book. The most fun thing, though is when someone asks you to make things for them...that means they really like what you make (which is always nice).
So, I was REALLY flattered when my friend the very talented Bari J (of handbag and fabric design fame) asked if I would make some pincushions for her new fabric line called Art Journal (which will be shown at Quilt Market in a few days). So fun - such cute fabric and with birds and nests...right up my alley. I had a great time making all of these for her and she's going to use them in the booth where her fabric will be featured!! How cool is that?? So here's a little peek at what I gave her this morning (thank goodness she liked them)!!
I made her some pears (because I wanted to show off the cute nests and birds in the fabric).
And some big eggs (she has a big nest for these, but I even like them in that bowl)
And some medium size eggs...
And some little eggs (now those I had nests for).
