My attempt to make the heart pincushion. How Sue does this in 10 mins is a mystery. It has taken me nearly 2 hours!!! That was from start to finish, including loading the embroidery designs and doing the applique. Ran out of stuffing and I can see it needs a bit more The most difficult part was the knot - just could not get it right. DH's reaction was 'what are you going to do with that?' Good question!!!!

looks very good to me - embroidery design is too cute! It only took you longer because it was a new pattern to you. the next dozen will be so much faster!

Thank you but I do not think there will be another one unless it is much smaller

Very pretty heart Sarah! I really like the applique too!

Thank you

Since you have closed it up already, spray it lightly with your favorite scent and put in your car or drawers (where you store your clothes, hehehe) or make another one and drop them into your sneakers.

I think I am going to open it up and use more stuffing so I can use it as a pin cushion.

Beautiful hearts do you make. And in 10 minutes? I think that I can not do that.

Thank you for your comment.

I made one too after seeing all of those posted, and I asked myself "What am I going to do with this?' So I made a new pattern that was much smaller, sewed it up and filled it with rice and now I have a cute little pincushion. The original was way too big to be a pincushion and I couldn't think of any other use for it.

Thank you Loralye - As it is I really cannot think of a use for it. A smaller one might be better.

That's a great idea Laura - but what would he use it for????

by lenamae 12 Feb 2014

you let him figure that out for him self.
Hug Lenamae

Your little hearts ARE really cute. I too had tough time with the knot. However, mine did take about 15 minutes. Check out mine garden project, you will see that my comment is so similar to your comment. I filled mine with rice, the pins (pin cushion) just slide in so nice.

You are very kind!!!

What a huge heart that is Sarah, I think I'd use it as an arm rest too. No honestly, it's lovely and I know you could put pins in it, but they may get lost he he he! Sorry, I'm giggling as I'm writing this, tongue in cheek! You know I love you, kissy, kissy! It's so hot here too but humidity is worse! It's nearly midnight and I've got the fan blowing on me whilst watching the Sochi Olympics. Our Torah Bright has just been on with her half pipe ride and is in first position for this heat at the moment. Love Chris

It just looks hilarious to me. It's actually is not that big - still rather big for a pin cushion needless to say. We have also been enjoying the Olympics, especially the skating. Very hot here. Just wish we could have a bit of rain. Hugs Sarah

I think it's lovely. If you do not want to stick pins in it you can always use it to rest your left elbow on when working at the computer. Hugs

I think it turned out beautiful, Sarah, I have a feeling it would be a day long job for me.......LOL!

Thank you Evie

It is very pretty with that heart applique, use it as a pincushion? I think Sue's secret is that she digitised it first. I did that too and it took me about three quarters of an hour to digitise the thing, include a design, hunt for the fabric, stitch it, take a picture,turn it, stuff it, tie the knot and take a second picture.

Finding the fabric took the the longest!!! Thank you Martine for your comment. Sarah

by spendlove 12 Feb 2014

Correct Martine - and I didn't decorate mine so it was only one line of stitching!
