I really love making pincushions, so quick and cute. Mine is a little more quirky then the book version, but it feels very ‘me’ so I would say that’s a success! I used Essex linen in dusty blue and a few bright prints from my scrap bin. I read several years ago about stuffing your […]

  • Cool, love the wee ruffly bitReplyCancel

  • Nice to make something for yourself, eh? I use crushed walnuts for the stuffing – not sure whether it sharpens the pins, though, but it does a great job at holding them in place – nice, solid feeling.ReplyCancel

    Emory sand does the trick t00, but is quite a bit heavier!ReplyCancel

    Unless there is another Paula, I think that is me! Yay!!!ReplyCancel

  • I think i’m sitting this one out, I had made 2 and got completely frustrated! Linen is not a good fabric choice and after sewing this minute squares and triangles together on a to them-giant machine- I throw my hands up and say “No way!” Good luck to all the other gals!ReplyCancel

  • Lizzie

I am SO excited to have this little quilt done! When I started on it back in February, I wasn’t sure I would ever get it finished. I’m trying to make an effort to push through my WIPs, so I’m checking this off the list! Ali let me test out her Janome at the ATLMQG […]

  • I think the blanket stitch is spot on ( excuse the pun). Love the quilt and the spotted fabric is a clever choice for background – no matching needed.ReplyCancel

  • I love the fabrics you picked! And the blanket stitch is genius, it totally looks like that’s the way you meant to do it from the start. Way to stick it out!ReplyCancel

  • Jeannie

    That was a super idea and it adds such a whimsy to the quilt. Nice!!ReplyCancel

  • Your mini is adorable! The blanket stitch is genius… I’m a little confused, though. Does that mean the edges are raw under the blanket stitch? In any case, you did a great job! 🙂ReplyCancel

    • Thank you! The edge is raw under the blanket stitch. Not so good for a useable quilt, but okay for the wall hanging. (I hope!)

      ReplyCancel

  • Such a fun mini! It turned out great…I bet it will be one of your favorites now that it’s done!ReplyCancel

  • bowlby

    This is fabulous! Love the binding.ReplyCancel

  • If we have a girl, I’m SO hitting you up for a replica of the quilt above. Beautiful!ReplyCancel

  • Love the finished quilt and what a great idea to use a blanket stitch!ReplyCancel

  • Jan

    Really nice quilt, I was wondering where the binding went? Great brain moment with the blanket stitch!ReplyCancel

  • It’s adorable Lindsey! I think you are genius for the blanket stitch finish too. I love the scrappy feel but the polka dot just makes it all perfect!ReplyCancel

  • lynn

    this is so so beautiful-i love it!ReplyCancel

  • Lindsey, this little quilt is so darling and made even more so by the blanket stitch binding. I am not familiar with the Cosmos thread but you and Kerry,who featured Zakka project 5, blogged about it today and showed some fun embroidery using it. I’ll have to give it a try!ReplyCancel

  • Lindsay Conner

    Good for you on your finish! I like your improvised blanket stitch binding!ReplyCancel

  • what a great idea for the binding ! I wonder if perle thread would also cover the raw edge – I’ll have to give it a go 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Oh Lindsey it’s beautiful and the blanket stitch is inspired genius!ReplyCancel

  • Gina

    This quilt is beautiful . Is there a PDF pattern for this ? I love the edging you hand stitched too .ReplyCancel

  • This is gorgeous – and what a wonderful idea with the blanket stitch – perfect accent to the project. Good job!ReplyCancel

  • it’s so amazing, yay for another one off your listReplyCancel

  • Adorable. I adore that small polka dot background!ReplyCancel

  • Lindsey, this is GORGEOUS!! I can’t tell you how much I love it!ReplyCancel

  • Linda

    A super little quilt and I love your blanket stitching around the edge. Also interested in the Janome machine as I am about to buy a new machine and rather liked a Janome I saw. Do you know which model you tried and, would you buy it for yourself?ReplyCancel

  • Lindsey, it’s just so very, very, cute. Love the use of that dot for the background and all the cheerful colors. Great idea for the finish!ReplyCancel

  • sallyqiad

    Darling quilt. Re blanket stitch binding–too funny, that’s what I did on my first few fleece ‘quilts’ (no batting) as I didn’t think cotton would look right and I knew that French-fold fleece binding was out of the question! Yours looks greatReplyCancel

  • This is a truly beautiful little quilt. I just love those triangles on the dottie background fabric!ReplyCancel
