Ok, Back to the pattern...
A while back she asked if I would design a pattern using her Valdani Three Strand Floss Collection, called Folk Art Fusion. It is a 12 color collection of beautiful colors available from her online store here.
I decided to make a Sunflower Pincushion. This pincushion is about 5" round and the pattern has instructions for making it in Wool or Punchneedle embroidery. It is really a quick little project and was so fun to make! As a punched pincushion, it would be a unique addition to your collection. As a wool pincushion it would be a darling addition as well as quick to finish! If you have followed my blog for a while, you have seen my coasters in the past. This pattern could also be made into coasters as well. (The cork coaster bases are available on my website notions page).
The picture above is a bit brighter than it really is, but Folk Art Fusion is a collection of great colors to work with as you can see below! She creates all sorts of pretties with these colors.
You can buy the Pattern and any Punchneedle supplies on my website, Traditional Primitives HERE and the floss collection and wool felt kit on her website, The Raspberry Rabbits! Check out all of her other goodies while you are there! She is very talented and creative! Her designs are unique and modern, yet have a country flair to them also. She's always keeping things "hopping" on her blog with fun offerings and stories!
If you are a visitor from Michelle's blog, I welcome you to my blog! Feel free to become a follower and join me in my quilting (and punching) adventure. Take a look back at some past posts.

I enjoy your blog and am a follower. I like to make pieced quilts, usually traditional patterns. I also enjoy hand embroidery and applique. The pincushion pattern is lovely. I have never made one, but would love to try.
ReplyDeleteHello Missie, I'm a new follower from Michelle's blog, love your sunflower design, beautiful! I'm a folk art crafter who usually creates with painted muslin but lately I've been doing more stitching and after looking at your beautiful sunflower pincushions I think I am going to have to learn how to do punchneedle! Thank you for the opportunity to win your lovely pattern and looking forward to following your blog. Deb
ReplyDeleteLove the pincushion. I have never tried needle punch embroidery, but love wool applique. I would love to win this pattern. I love to add applique to my quilt pieces. It really seems to finish them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for the opportunity on the draw.

ReplyDeleteThe pincushion pattern is lovely. I have done a few stitcheries, I think it's time to do a pincushion. I also quilt and knit.
ReplyDeleteLove the pincushion, I do hand embroidery and piecing.I want to try wool applique, have been collecting wool for a couple of years and last year found some punch needle supplies at a Flea Market so that's on the list,too, so many intrest and so little time;).Thanks for the chance to win the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou two make a good team. Love the pincushions. I am a follower of you and Michelle. She actually came to our guild which was super exciting.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in your giveaway. I love working with wool and doing punchneedle too. Even though I don't do much of it. thanks for a chance.
I have of late been inspired with hexies. My favorite handwork is wool. Civil war quilts are my passion. I love making pincushion especially for presents to my friends. Can I just love it all?
