Here's the completed Roses and Ruching Pincushion - this is the second project that I've stitched as a member of the Poppy Patch Posse. This pretty pattern is included in this lovely kit supplied by Poppy Patch, along with all the fabrics, embroidery threads and wadding. I've shared earlier posts on my blog of the hand embroidered label, making the patchwork top, constructing the body of the pincushion and the 3D applique...
...once the 3D applique has been stitched to the top of this sweet pincushion, I filled it with crushed walnut shells through the opening in the side seam - this was then closed by hand using a fine thread and ladder stitch, ensuring the filling stays in and the stitches don't show. My top tip for buying crushed walnut shells is to try your local quilt shop - it's sold as lizard bedding, and is very ecconomical!...
...the hand embroidered label has also been stitched in place, nestling among the roses. This is a really lovely pincushion, which will have pride of place on my sewing table.
If you'd like to make one of these too, the kit for this pincushion was supplied by Poppy Patch - and includes the pattern with full size traceable stitchery design and full size applique templates, all the fabrics, fusible wadding and embroidery threads. The pattern is designed by Melissa Grant of One Day in May Creations.
