Cathedral Window Pincushion

Yesterday, I had a very successful day when it comes to sewing because I was able to finish what I started to do. It required the older son to leave the house with his dad and the younger son to fall asleep :).

I did the cathedral window pincushion. It's been a while I wanted to try cathedral window and such small project as pincushion sounded perfect for a start. I found gorgeous tutorial from My Go-Go Life that you can find here on Craftsy. And it's perfect to use scraps. I know I'll have to pratice the catherdral window much more, so I'm more satisified with the result. That's why probably I'll make one more pincushion and then I have a plan to make a pillow using this technique.

I'm sharing this post on Craftastic Monday Linky Party at SewCanDo.

Mini Log Cabin Sewalong

Hello,

It's a bit terrifying how fast the time goes by. The last post I put here was almost one year ago, which for the Internet seems like ages. Hopefully, this 2014 year will be more fruitful for this blog, which also means will bring me more sewing and embroidery.

With this said, I'm happy to write I signed up for 2014 New Year Sewalong at SewCanShe. This week's assignment is to gather the fabric. I decided to choose yellow and green fabrics from my stash. Oh, the Sewalong is to make Mini Log Cabin blocks and use them for anyhting. I thought about doing cafe curtains with those. We'll see how it goes. There's also group created on Facebook, so I believe it will be a lot of sharing and fun.

Here are the fabrics I chose:

Happy New Year :)!!!
