My friend, Carla, finally recieved her pin cushion that I made for her, so now I can post a photo of it. I missed out on the pincushion swap that Linda held so Carla and I decided to do a little swap between us. I just loved the cupcake that she made for me!
I also made a few more of my hexagons for my new quilt! I now have 23 of them. These really work out nice with the precut strips that I have in my scrap bins. I think I will really like this quilt when it is done. It will take me a while, the pattern calls for 110 blocks so I still have a long way to go.
I'm a little bit depressed, Mom doesn't get to come home until next weekend! :( I guess I will have to wait a few more days!
Well, I'm off...Hunter wants me to watch Spiderwick with him before he has to go to bed and then I think I might work on a few Civil War blocks!

Thank you for sharing their progress..

I LOVE the pincushion! Is there a pattern for it somewhere? Also, your hexagon quilts are AWESOME! That quilt is going to be a very cheerful, happy quilt.
Thanks for sharing!

The pin cushion is so pretty and also the blocks. You sure got a good start on them.
They are really nice Kristie. You are a fast quilterI must say.Do you sew the blocks on paper too? This I am looking forward to see finished
Your hexagons look great - you are what - about a 1/5th of the way to having what you need? KNowing you, it'll take you a week or so to finish the rest.
I have a Bernina 140 - normal throat space - but I find if I am just stipling or meandering, it's not very bad at all when I quilt.

Great job on the pin cushion! I think your blocks look great.
Love the little pincushion...too cute. Your hexagon blocks look awesome!! I'm so looking foreward to seeing the finished quilt :cD
I love the little pin cushion and your blocks are turning out so great.
The pin cushion is so pretty ,what a great gift
Beautiful pin cushion and the hexagon blocks are great! My daughter loves the Spiderwick Chronicles! We've read all 5 books and seen the movie countless times. We also started the first book in the Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles and are anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. It comes out in Sept. If you haven't read the books with Hunter I recommend it. The books are far better than the movie!
The hexagon quilt will be gorgeous. The pincushion is great.
Love these pineapple blocks.....Im planning soon, to do a quilt using these blocks, they are so effective!!!! Enjoy the book, how i miss reading!!!
