Learning Curve



I remember the very first time I saw this amazing pincushion. It was just over two years ago and I had just started my quilting adventure. I remember wishing that I could make something that lovely. It looked so complicated and difficult. Something that I could never possibly make. I forgot about that pincushion until this afternoon, while I was working on an Etsy order for a little half Dresden pincushion that I make for my shop. I am always looking for a new challenge and that pincushion popped into my head. I started cutting more little Dresden blades and then went back and found Mary's wonderful tutorial. I don't have the patience to do the amazing hand work that Mary does, but I love my finished pincushion. It's actually too cute to stick pins into, so it is going to live on a shelf in our TV room.



Most of the past few weeks have been spent working both at my "big girl" job and on a custom order using Country Girls.


We also celebrated a birthday and are anxiously waiting for Spring to arrive. Can I just say how much I love turning the clocks ahead???? It is pretty close to being my favorite day of the year. 


Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
