Obsessed

Are other stitchers as obsessed as I am at the moment with pincushions? I just can't get enough of them, inspired by the beautiful one on Daisy Quilts, I just had to make one. You can find the tutorial on here by Heather Bailey.

I used Robyn's method of using 4 charm squares....with 2 cut in half for the sides but I used 3" squares, what a quick and easy pincushion to whip up.
I also signed up for Quilt Fabric Delights Pincushion of the Month, I haven't done the first one yet but I've almost finished the second one by Crab-apple Hill. I hope to post about it tomorrow!
Lynette Anderson has also announced 2 new patterns with two pincushions in each, might just have to get them for myself.
Wonder when this obsession will end and a new one takes it's place?

Ha ha Jo, isn't this so funny!!
I wish we could line all of these pincushions up in a row :o)
I love it when different people make the same 'thing'...they always turn out so differently, but sooo the same...I really love that in our Quilting group too.
Yours looks wonderful!! I'm glad you tried it and I'm also glad you found my method useful...I've been amking more...looky!! :P
