When I’m not quilting, you can find me either out in the garden or in the kitchen!

“The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.” - Arnold Bennett

Pin Cushions

If you remember, I plan to make a pin cushion for my next quilt guild meeting… there’s a prize for the best one.

Several of you sent me some great suggestions and links, but I found one that is perfect for me!  It may not win any prize as it’s fairly simple, but it’s adorable!

It’s a Heather Bailey design, and I purchased it at the Fat Quarter Shop.

While my darling spouse and I were out running errands yesterday, I told him about needing to make a pincushion.  He’s got a most warped sense of humor.  It’s amazing I am at all normal! /grin

His suggestion was that I make a Voodoo Doll pincushion!  Can you just imagine?  This guild that I just joined… well it’s held in a church.  And I’m not only the new kid on the block, but I’m a whole different generation than most everyone else.

I couldn’t resist a Google search, and look what I came up with.  I laughed and laughed and laughed when I saw it.

I’m sure that were I to walk in with this as my pincushion, I’d be tossed out on my arse in no time at all!
