You may remember that I bought the beautiful Quilts From The House Of Tula Pink as soon as it was released, and I had been toying with a couple of the patterns for my second round of Brit Bee in the new year, but one smaller project immediately sprung to mind for this.
The Lollipops Pillow.
Having just finished my Girl On a Swing and gigantic Spring Carnival only recently, the family and sofas are a little over-cushioned right now, so I figured I should just make something for the one person here who really appreciates my stitchy obsession...me!
So I decided to scale it down and make a pin cushion, a Tula Pinkushion!!!
It's positively glamorous and probably not the most practical, but I don't care, it's got sparkles, covered buttons and a froggy prince. Did I mention, sparkles!?
There's still time to add your recent TP projects to the flickr group; either using Tula Pink fabric, or a Tula Pink pattern, or both like mine, to be in with the chance of prizes, oh yes.
And this little froggy also marks another tick on my FAL list - hurrah! Win win x
That's fab, maybe not very practical, but beautiful and funny, and that's more than enough!
ReplyDeleteGreat pincushion.
ReplyDeleteEspecially with the frog of my dreams AND sparkles.
*Very nice* said like Boris Johnson in his recent speech.
win win! i love it and seriously, pinkushion, is the most perfect name ever!
ReplyDeletelove love LOVE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous - when I saw it on flickr I thought wow that would make a great cushion too! Had no idea that's what inspired you.
ReplyDeleteWow that's super cool and love the fact that it's so much easier than a quilt!
ReplyDeleteSparkles beat practicality hands down, any day of the week!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely :-)
Holy wow, that's pretty! It looks like it belongs on a sewing table in magazines…. Very fancy - I'd almost hate to stick pins in it. I'd have to make it a little chair to sit on. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! Lovely and totally mod. Brilliant name.
ReplyDeletePractical is so over rated for pin cushions, especially such beautiful sparkly ones like this!
ReplyDeleteThat is one stylish pinnie! Jxo
ReplyDeleteMy reaction when I opened your page was "Oh, that's sooooo pretty!" I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat is THE prettiest pinkushion I have ever seen! What a clever name!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, I love the pinkusion! It will work fine, lots of room for pins amid the sparkles!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute and a great interpretation of a TP project. And, it's for the best person, who appreciates your work the most...YOU!
ReplyDeleteBwahahaha, love it!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this little fella! Nothing makes me happier than his little grin WITH SPARKLES ON THE BACK. Just super.
ReplyDeleteI love this, what a fabulous glamorous pinnie
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed glamorous.
ReplyDeletePerfection in miniature!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, blinged and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Hadley - and I'm a great believer in a bit of glitz whenever you can get it!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could bring myself to use it - but possibly the prettiest pinkushion I've ever seen :o)
ReplyDeleteIts just fab! And you can never have enough pinkushions!
ReplyDeleteLOVE! And that frog is freakin still on my 'want' fabric list, that said there is so much on that virtual list, hopefully he'll make it to the top one day whilst I can still get my hands on some!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pincushion - that froggy is just the cutest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteSqueel - it's amazing and I heart the sparkles. Great to see you making something for you!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it
ReplyDeleteOh it is just fabulous, and a great idea to shrink it down to pincushion size! Genius!
