Seems I've been busy
I am embarking on a RR with a group of friends, theme being, well, I'll let you guess!
Yes, I know its not square, damn it! Hasty cutting, but I am sure I can fix it...somehow...
And today I whipped up something I have been wanting to try for a while. I had a block pieced that would of been a CD pin keeper (but didn't quite make it) and I have been very inspried by Gerrys Victorian Pincushions . This is what I came up with.
I love it!! I had an old pewter goblet in the garage which I knew would be perfect. It was originally planned (I planned Shari!!LOL) to go up the other/right way. I am not sure why I tried it upside down, but it looked way better.
I did have a whole set of these, but I fear they are long gone, so I will have to find some more. They would make wonderful gifts. Although the block was already pieced, embellisheing and constructing didn't take me any more than 1 1/2 hrs.
Here's a different view...

Looks lik Mo has returned and am I glad. I haven't checked (been busy) for a couple of days and what a nice suprise for a Sunday morn. Love the pin cushion. Zandra
Lovely use for your goblet...such a pretty pincushion and a night height for using.
Now that block looks like a tree to me!!!
As for the pincushion that is just awesome and yes you'll have to see if you can find more of them goblets or something like them - very unique!
Ya know, mathematically speaking that is a "square", technically! It has four right angles so there ya go! Even rectangles are considered squares, LOL!
That pincushion you made is fabulous! You know I LOVE the tatting! That goblet is super fab!
Pincushion looks great and there you go flaunting that tatting again!!!! It is so gorgeous on there.. You will love having it "above it all"...
Great idea. Love your ideas. Now I will have another reason to check out thrift stores looking for an unique base for a pincushion like yours. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Jo!
This is a project I saw on CQMag online and I've been wanting to make a new pin cushion for myself, but I am swamped and have had to put it on the back burner.
I love yours! It's great. Using the bottom of the goblet is such a good idea as it would provide a good sturdy base.
Nice work,

Um...are you working on Christmas stuff ALREADY??? :-o
