Hi Everyone,
For my next Scrap Basket Sunday post, linking with Kim, I chose more red, white, and blue fabrics since I am only working in those colors during these 39 days from Memorial Day through July 4.
Last Sunday, I pulled out a baggie full of Minick and Simpson scraps. These were left overs from a past project and I though mostly unusable as they were small and skinny. However, they worked perfectly for the next scrappy, patriotic pattern that I wanted to play with.
It's another Schnibble pattern featuring patriotic pincushions. I made some pincushions a while back, so I still had plenty of stuffing (crushed walnut shells.) The pattern gives 7 different versions and I made 6 of them. For backing I was using a piece of red wool felt and I didn't have enough for the seventh "pinnie."
This is the red wool backing.
I decided to have fun and use some of my collection of vintage, red, children's chairs to display them all.
I like the look of the very skinny logs on this one, but I really wish I had been paying attention and turned the center square so its diagonal was the same as the block's.
Of course, this is my favorite!
These pincushions are fun and fairly quick to piece, so it is nearly as easy to make a bunch as it is just one. I think one or two will go to my guild this month for their door prizes.
Have a great day!
JoAnne
What a perfect project for your scraps. Love them all!
ReplyDeleteWow I love those pincushions. A brilliant use for all those scraps. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection. They look so cute sitting on those chairs, too.
ReplyDeleteI like how the use of the medium blue fits right in with the rest.
Good use of scraps. The pincushions are so cute. Happy quilting.

ReplyDeleteVery nice, they look darling on your collection of little red chairs.
ReplyDeleteHow great to finish all these little projects. You have upped your game with your photo shoots too, the chairs look great with your cushions.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling! I made a bunch of these several years ago, but after seeing yours, I see I'm gonna have to make some more.
ReplyDeleteSo cute on your red chairs... Love them all, but my absolute favorite is the one with the pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteLove these!! A great idea to display them on your chairs!!! Where do you find the time to create so many fun things?
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pin cushions! I think I have that pattern--now I will have to find it. I'm SO jealous of your red chair collection!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find all those cute red chairs? I've got a little red child's rocker that fits right in!
ReplyDeleteThey look great and I love those Minick & Simpson fabrics. I've loved seeing all the red, white and blue projects you've been making during this time. In the same period of time, I don't think I've taken even one stitch. It's great to be able to live vicariously through others!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I LOVE them! What a good idea to use all those tiny scraps to make your pincushions--and displaying them on the old children's chairs is a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe pincushions are wonderful as are your little red chairs.
