And Cupcakes

And in between the quilts I've been finishing, I've been making cupcake pincushions. They are super fun to make, and cute as can be.

A friend and I are going to be doing a craft show in November. I have several other things I've made for the sale and decided to add the cupcake pincushions. It was a good choice - I've already sold a dozen of them, and it isn't even near the time for the craft show.

They are in different colors, with different colored cups too . . .

And one with whipped cream and a strawberry on top - looks almost good enough to eat, don't you think?

Want some watermelon?

I just love pincushions - and I have quite a few. Some are gifts from friends and some I've made myself. Well this one is a gift from a friend that I made myself. My friend Vicki gave me the pattern for this at the last sew-in in Anacortes.



If you would like to make one go to quiltmag.com - click on Sewing Projects and then Accessories - the pattern is on the first page - in two sizes. I made the small one.

There is lots of cute stuff to make there - I especially like the pattern for making a visor. I bought one but don't really care for the pattern on it - so I might make a few. Wouldn't it be cute to have a visor with baseball fabric for the baseball games - and veggies for gardening? Ohhh I'm getting inspired.

Back to the pincushions - do you have a favorite - or one you really enjoyed making?
