Using Up Leftovers

Image
There was leftover wool from a quilt I recently made; so I decided to use some of it in a pincushion design. As I have another beginning wool class coming up, I needed to get going on it.  The golden yellow seemed to lend itself to a flower to me .So that is what I designed. Hope you like it. I learned something new with this post, that all my pics (as they are put on my blog) are saved in a special place and the space eventually fills and must be deleted to create more storage.  I thought they were just taken from my sd disk.  I am no computer geek, but I am learning more.  Martha

Pincushions

Image
When I traveled back home this past April, my friend , gave me a bag of crushed walnut shells . Not a small bag an economy size which was only part of what she bought at a local garden/ nursery center. Believe me it sure came in handy today. I have been trying to finish up my pincushions. I first finished a" Summer Gathering" by Lisa Bongean ,   pincushion Then I finished two from Bonnie Sullivan "All Thru The Night". Yes my bird is backwards but  for a reason. To show someone if that had been a word or a letter it would have mattered. Then I rather sorrowly attempted one from Indigo Junction.  It did not turn out as well as the others. And this last one that I will attempt tonight is of my own design. I am going to put a beak on it too!  Chit Chat later, Martha
