Loooove this and the Blue Bird too!! I think they will become my "take to work and stitch at lunch" pieces. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the chenille trim? Just a regular ole craft/ sewing store, or did you order it from a specialty source? I ask b/c it looks perfect with these!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Gee thanks Vonna. I was going to hold off purchasing these two BBD pincushions, as adorable as they are, since I have been on a spending spree lately, but seeing how yours turned out I now know resistance is futile!
ReplyDeleteReally cute!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Love the "Manor Red" thread and the finish is great!

ReplyDeletequestion: where do you get the crushed walnut shells from? I use poly pellets but would like to change it up once in a while. :)
