Protect your PIN at all times, and that also goes for the pins in your sewing room! The bottom shot is one I pinned to my Pinterest board, and it is from
Charlotte from Folksy shop Sixes and Sevens. Since I am on a "Pinterst board inspiration kick", I decided to make my own version of the PIN pincushion. I had some alphabet stamps that I stamped in Versacraft ink, which, when heat-set, are permanent on fabric. Scraps of decorator weight, sewing-themed fabric were added to each side of the stamped linen. I made a quick little square "pillow", filled the pillow with crushed walnut shells, and hand-stitched the opening closed. The stamping was quite fun. I gave away all my stamps over 20 years ago, and now wish I had kept some for stamping on fabric. I have seen some Pins of stamped bags and totes, and would like to combine some wording with applique or embroidery. As I write this blog post, I spy a bit of orange on a maple tree outside my studio window. My goodness. We had just a touch of summer! Lots of visitors, but not much jumping in the lake to cool off. Carl will be adding a three season porch to the front of our house in a couple of weeks. I will "supervise" from the third floor while trying a little more stamping. Jerilynn
I like how you find a little bit of inspiration and run with it.
ReplyDeleteLove your version.
Another mini set of summer days is on it's way.
Go jump in a lake! Won't be long before we can walk on them again.
