A little while ago I read that Nic from Craftapalooza was doing another stitch along, this time being her Apple Pincushion. I thought “Why not?”. It would be a simple project and a nice one to do with my friend while we were visiting.
It’s amazing how much stuff I had to put together to make up a little kit for each of us to make the project. There was the fabric, interfacing, buttons, thong for stalk, felt for leaves, sewing thread, strong thread, long needles (which I found in the deep dark depths of Mum’s sewing drawer) and stuffing, as well as making a couple of templates to make things easy.
Anyway, it all worked well. The hardest part, as usual was deciding on the fabric to use. I went with ones that would work well with the Blossie Basket I made previously.
We spent a fun afternoon and ended up with two lovely apples.
Isn’t my friend’s hand crank Singer a beautiful backdrop.
They were very different looking, according to the fabrics we used.
A lovely way to spend time with a good friend.
Both Apple pincushions look great. 👍
