Jodie and Good Folks

My good friend Jodie always spots the new fabrics as they arrive.  Sometimes I think she only visits to see the new fabrics!!! Anyway when Good Folks by Anna Maria Horner arrived Jodie was the first to have some.  This is what it has become.

You will remember that I a mentioned here that Jodie found this great idea at Ikea.  While we stuck the pin board circles straight onto the  wall Jodie mounted her circles on board.    Don't they look fabulous?

And how about this for a yummy purse.

And more new fabric arrived last week...

Jodie was last seen fondling this yummy flannel on the way out the door.  Will she be able to resist????

Fairytales - Pin Cushion of the Month Spoiler!

Pin Cushion of the Month number 6 was posted out on Monday.  If you haven't received yours as yet and don't want to be surprised when you open your parcel, don't go any further.

Pin Cushion number 6 is Fairytale Mushroom Cottage Pincushion designed by Gigi of Pinks & Needles

It is the cutest little thing.  Since Gigi used scalloped scissors when she made the pin cushion and I don't have any I wanted to make sure that it would look just as good made without them.  So here is my version.

I had so much fun making this.  I cut my roof and base pieces using straight scissors and then used blanket stitch to put them together. I loved working with the wool felt and am thinking of making another in different colours and maybe adding some more embroidery, perhaps a vine or something along those lines.  The pintopper you can see comes from my collection.  Gigi has designed one especially for you but it's a surprise!

It's the 12th today, have you posted your Pin Cushion of the Month to the flickr group album.  There is already a winner for the first to post - congratulations Linda but there is still time for your to post your photograph and you can still go in the draw for the other giveaway.

If you haven't made any yet, go over and have a look at the finished projects and get inspired.

So one more Pin Cushion of the Month to go - you are going to love it, it is just gorgeous.  I think there will need to be another giveaway to celebrate when that is posted out don't you?

Amazing!

I haven't known what to say about the bushfires in Victoria, it is really beyond words.  My heart goes out to any one affected.

But in the midst of the sadness and horror there's this-
