Hi everyone!
My partner for the Pincushion Pass finally received her package.
My partner is Krista from Spotted Stones.
She loves all things modern.
So I thought this pattern would be perfect for her.
I decided to add a flower made from vintage trimmings.
The flower itself is made from the bottom edge of a vintage dress.
It was among some vintage trim I got at an estate sale.
The women I bought it from always kept the decorative edges
from antique clothing when the clothing was no longer good.
It was cut with a scissor, and wrapped in tissue paper.
The beads and the taffeta seam binding are also vintage and came from the same sale.
I had made her another pincushion that was similar
and had filled it with crushed walnut shells,
but you could see the walnut shell filling were there were pinholes.
I just couldn't send it.
So I made her a new one
and used mostly poly fill and just a bit of walnut shells.
I'm glad that she likes it.
It was a lot of fun to make.
She makes wonderful modern quilts.
Hugs
Ariane

It's lovely! Great job.
This is really fabulous! I can see why she loved it!
The pincushion is so cute that all I'd want to do is display it and enjoy its beauty. Love it !!
It's lovely! I haven't tried the walnut shells, but having read your experience now I likely won't bother. Thanks for sharing.
I really do love my pincushion! It's amazing! Last night when I was cleaning my sewing room, I put it to use and loaded it up with pins! It looks so awesome in my room (no, I didn't let my daughters have it!).
I noticed the middle had something heavier in it, but I wasn't sure what it was. How did you get it in the middle there and get it to stay put? The pincushion I made you has the shells in it as well, but I used a muslin liner in hopes that they wouldn't sneak out. I might have to do a test before I make your replacement and send it.
So fresh & pretty, and I love the flower! Good to know about the walnut shells - thanks.
Very fresh and modern looking and I love the vintage flower on it.
