Patchwork Pin Cushions

aka Crazy Quilt Pin Cushions

With a mix of feelings from Finally to Frustration,   can now share with you the series of patchwork pin cushions I’ve been working on.

I started these before falling, smashing my knees and hands. The pile of mini-pillows sat here taunting me for weeks. Slowly, I tried to embroider them. Each time, my hand would yell at me. I ended up doing one or two every couple evenings. Yesterday, I finished up the last of the batch. (The finally part.) Then, last night, my thumb yelled at me. (The frustration part.)

They are all in my Etsy shop awaiting homes.

Initially,  I planned an assortment of goodies for the holiday season, including patchwork pin cushion of various shapes, patchwork ornaments, and some millinery.  The millinery can not happen at this point as my hands definitely can not sew the straw yet, nor the quilting for winter hoods. I still hope to be able to make a few more things, but I’m not sure. (As I write this, I am realizing I need to make a few animal pin cushions or pen wipers for December and a Regency ballgown for New Year’s somehow🤔)

Well, that came out more dismall than intended.

Um, yay! Look, pretty things! 😊
