I Piece 2-Mary: pincushion hop

Today is my day for the showing my projects for the Pincushion Blog Hop. I am so excited. Thank you Madame Samm and Kristen King, for creating and cheering us on.

Here are two of my projects. The first is my embroidered project keeper and my little sheep pincushion.

I made this project keeper so I would have a place to keep my small embroidery projects. Madame Samm designed the sweet bird for hosting my first blog hop, "It's for the Birds." This is a great way to keep organized.

I love 30's fabrics and made these two patchwork pincushions. The one is tiny log cabins, and the other is just like the tomato's we always had.

This last one is my version of a flamingo pincushion. I love flamingo's!

Here are some of the wool pincushions I have made. I love these small projects. They are so portable.

Here are a few more that I have collected through the years. I have found that when I travel, it is sometimes much easier to bring a new pincushion home,

New header, and the start of the pincushion hop.

Look what I receive this morning!!!

Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt created this gorgeous new header for my blog. I am so impressed, speechless, amazed, grateful, that she would take the time to created this for me. I have been grinning from ear to ear all day. Oh, and to top it off check out what she did for my barn quilts blog. Those are pictures I have taken, and she did the cute graphic of the little house. That is my very own barn quilt on it.

It has taken my breath away. I can't say thank you enough.

On Saturday, it was the Pride of the Prairie's sew in day. I got the borders and the backing for this quilt done!!! The rest of the top has been done for a bit, but had not gotten to the borders. It feels good to get another project off the to do list.

I have been busy working on my project for the pincushion blog hop that starts Tuesday.
My day is on Wednesday. Here is the lineup for this hop. I can't wait to see all the creativeness that I am sure is out there.
