Happy Fall Ya'll

This post is for two very special friends: Elizabeth S. - her phrase was used for the title of this post (and make sure you say it with a southern accent)...and Teresa who just recently commented to me that every time I sew a project I make a bunch of them (yep, this time I made thirteen). I love you both dearly.

I had to share my most recent batch of pincushion tuffets - can you tell I had a bunch of autumn fabric scraps leftover from a large project?! These lovelies are already spoken for and shipped to new homes - one set of six and one set of seven. I just love making these...and this time I cut the strips for all thirteen and then chain pieced them, so it went rather quickly - it took me a couple hours to make all of them...then I stuffed and whip stitched them closed in an evening while watching television. I have a list of eleven more I would like to make in the next week or so...we'll see if I can make time...I already have some great fabric scraps picked out!

    Beautiful fall pincushions. Sure could use some of Elizabeth's humor right about now. Any up for the chicken dance?

    Cute little pincushions, and a great idea for my scraps leftover from the journal covers I made a few weeks ago (inspired by your journal covers actually).

    Glad you didn't disappoint me by only making one. They are all cute. We tried to find the heart pins at Joann's and they told us to try around Valentines Day.

    I have a hard enough time getting one pillow stuffed and stitched in an evening let alone thirteen! They're gorgeous Belinda and fall fabrics are my favourites!

    They are so cute! I know how it is when you just get on a roll and have that machine humming along.

    It is just not worth getting the machine out for only 1. I am a batch girl myself. They turned out realy cute. Cannot wait to here about Californ-I-A
