My, my! A whole week since I last said hi to you lovelies?! That's just bananas. Well, I've certainly been a busy bee but that's really no excuse not to come by and at least say hi. How rude of me. Tsk, tsk. Well, I can assure you that wont be quiet 'round these parts for long. I've been working on lots of stuff to share with you. I even have another giveaway coming up- stay tuned.
In the meantime, Kimmie received my package for Round 1 of the Switchin' Stitches group, so I'm free to show you what I made for her. She wanted a crafty theme with the colors red, white and black. Did I mention before that she's a super pro quilter? She's swapping with tons of people and plans to make a wall hanging for her craft room with those type of squares. I can't wait to see the whole thing assembled. I love collaborative efforts.
I made her square using one of my favorite vintage patterns.

Like I told her, it's just so silly! A snail...sewing? Bhah ha ha, it's hilarious. Is he going to wear that giant sock, too? Ack, I just love ridiculous patterns like this.
More swap stitches coming soon! I've been crazy busy with those lately. I can't wait until this last batch of stuff is finished. After that I'm going to take it easy on the swaps for a while. I've got big plans to focus on- details coming soon.
Have a craftastic day!

I love it!!How did you create the detail on the pincushion?
Gah! So cute Jackson! I saw this over on Facebook so I had to come over here and get the low down, I love it! Adorable. It's fun to do silly things like sewing snails... and zombies :o) See ya!
Thanks, ladies!
Becky- It was easy peasy! I cut a little piece of fabric in the shape of the pincushion. I pinned it down and stitched it with 2 strands of black floss. Then I embroidered the pin over it. If it was traditional applique I would have made sure the fabric had a little edge folded over so that I could have sewn through that. That way you wouldn't see the stitches, but I didn't think that far ahead, lolz.
