I couldn't resist putting it together over the weekend. A great project - quick & satisfying! It is my first project using wool felt, & I really enjoyed the rustic texture of the wool. It is a very forgiving medium!
The pincushion is filled with silica sand & lined with a contrasting cotton fabric on the back.
I can definitely see myself stitching more of these. Another addiction in the making!
Oh this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI bought the very same one at the Quilt show in June.
Yours looks so lovely...makes me want to make mine right now...lol
Isn't the wool felt wonderful to work with?
Thanks for sharing.
Your pincusion is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to a little workshop on wool applique at Hatched and Patched next month so hopefully will make something similar.
oh lordy! this is just adorable, i love it! i actually sent 2 emails to hatched & patched, enquiring about purchasing some silica sand for pincushions. she didn't bother to reply. needless to say she won't ever be getting my custom again.
ReplyDeleteyou've done a lovely job.

That is too good to stick pins into. Really it should be displayed on a doorknob or something. Love it. Cherrie

Love it! I'm totally addicted to wool felt now. Save all your scraps because you can use even tiny ones in other projects.
