A pincushion which didn't make the cut for the Secret Santa Swap. I wondered if it was possible to get a cathedral window effect in the hoop. It is, but by making it into a pincushion, it loses the full effect of the contrast corners. The rose is currently on the first page of the designs section.

Very nice and stunning and so beautiful

Very pretty but I wouldn't stick pins in it either. Far too pretty for that.
Love the effect you have done with the window. Looks like you meant for it to be like that

I did!

Oh my, that is really beautiful.

very nice pin cushion. I was told my #2 pincushion was too much. I am back at the drawing board.

Beautiful flower and pincushion. I agree, you can't stick pins in this. I really thought it was a pillow. Great work.

The other one I made is nicer!

its looking great, too good for pins :-)

I just returned home after 5 days of no internet and admired the new roses as soon as I saw them.
I love the colours you used and your setting is beautiful too. I know roses have thorns, but sticking pins in them... I would not dare do that, far too lovely!

The new roses are a nice set and it is quite easier to vary the colours as only 3 shades are used.

The coloring is perfect

I think it is gorgeous and has tons of dimension in it.....very beautiful and I agree with shozo, I couldn't bring myself to stick pins in it.....

I do love the result !

I see the cathedral window effect, turned out fantastic, and I love the whole pincushion you made. That rose is extra beautiful done with pinks! *Hugs and Flowers* P.S. Its too pretty to put pins in it :)

a lovely attempt, ~hugs~
