Pincushions

Making pincushions is not an easy job. I used polyester batting that I was donated to the guild for dog beds. I kept a layer since the dog bed lady had no place to store the volume of batting I was giving her. I think I was trying to stuff them too tight and some were not quite the right shape after the stuffing step!

What do you think of the name Fatty Cat Design? That will be the name of my Etsy store when I get the stock together, the photos, the banner and the info that goes with each item. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Happy quilting.

Pick Up Sticks

Friday with the girls was a very productive day. I worked until dinner on a selvage project and after we ate I put together 100 out of 334 (maybe 400 if I can last!) squares of my pick up sticks project. After the squares I have a ton of half square triangles to do for a cool border. I am using Vintage Modern fabrics by Bonnie and Camille. HERE is the same quilt in different colors.

I am also working on some projects for my Etsy store. I will let you know when it opens. Until then... 

Be happy and quilt often.
