Getting to grips with my FAL list and I finished up this sweet pincushion, it really took no time and I love it's chunky feel. I like a deep pincushion and this is a great size. It's from the book Quilting on the Goby Jessica Alexandrakis and I think I will make more because it's a fun little gift to give.
I let my four year old Joan pick the fabrics (can you tell?!) and it's a smiley little pincushion as a result.
Here's one from Jessica's book and I love that you could make this look really modern or give it a vintage vibe. It would also be a fun way to show off a favourite button.
I've been cracking on with my WIPS too and I finally got round to making the March block for the Classic Meets Modern QAL:
I crazy love doing DP blocks and I always use this method without pins. So much quicker and always a good result when I use my quarter inch foot too.
I've also prepared some lovely scrappy binding in preparation for my le challenge project. This months theme is charity.
Lastly I would be so grateful if you would vote for my Bees of a Feather quilt in the hand quilted category of the Blogger's Quilt Festival - you can vote for it here
So much to sew, catch you later!

Great pincushion, love the shape and I would happily have put the yellow and pink together. I voted for you this morning,not just because I love your blog (I do) but because it really is one of my favourite quilts there so it was an easy choice. xx
Such a cute pin cushion! I am a sucker for pin cushions....I love making them! I have recently started using the no pin method for curves, as well. I was shocked at how well it worked! Your block looks great!
Lovely makes. I have also cast my vote for your bee quilt. Di x

Your pin cushion is super awesome!! I love it - and your block is great too. I'm getting more comfortable with the no-pin method, but I still need a little work :p hehehe
