When I saw this new design at Urban Threads, it shouted "biscornu" at me! I added a square in a chunky stitch so that I could whip stitch the whole thing together from the right side. It is hard to work out the best angle to take a picture from.

I bet you are fed up of these pincushions by now! This one is made in the hoop and the design has taken a while to appear while Yoriko and I sought permission to use the idea.

Potholder - I managed to get some heat resistant wadding so I made this to celebrate! The backing fabric is the same as the "binding" and the design is by Vicki (basketkase)

Mug-rug - using the free applique design currently available here. (Had to reduce it a bit to fit on.) The text is the first line of a song by Lehar which my Dad used to sing a lot. (The first line, that is, never the whole song!) Daughter Kate collect

This pincushion was featured in Community (see link) I just had to make one. It takes about 10 minutes (including stuffing!)

Here is my own stitchout of the pincushion already posted by rescuer and aussiequilter. I have to say I like both of theirs better than my own! Thanks to rescuer for the original suggestion and to aussiequilter fro showing the versatility of the desig

This is a "poorly blanket" that I made for my friend Ann (Scottie0930) with the help of my Cute Sisters in Stitching from around the world. Strictly speaking it isn't a quilt as it has a polar fleece backing and no wadding.

Purse with a zip in the top, no visible stitching or raw edges made ITH with just a tiny bit of straight hand sewing to finish off. I think I'm just about there! (Middle picture is the inside,)

These purses are made ITH, fully lined, with no raw edges inside. The flaps are made by strip and flip. The animal print one was made in my 200mm square hoop and is big enough for me to use as an over-body bag. The bright one was made in 140mm square. The

This is the last mug-rug for a while - this time for 100mm and 140mm square hoops. The one on the left is a single coaster made from the 140mm design and the one on the right is made up from four of the smaller design. They are really quick to make and co

I used my nearly crazy mug-rug design and substituted the central part with this new freebie from Urban Threads. Perfect for Mike!

My second attempt to create a crazy patchwork mug-rug was more successful than the first, but then it just had to have some nice symmetrical diamond quilting! Take care, these are addictive (and a great way to use up scraps.) Again it has a pocket with
