Apologies if you are not familiar with the nation's favourite stock cube, as you probably don't know what I am talking about, so here's a picture!
I pulled some Liberty red, white Essex linen and a 3/4 hour later I was popping in the stuffing!
Mine turned out bigger than Kerry's, not sure how, but not a problem. My points were pretty spot on, which, with 1.5" pieces, is a miracle for me.
It finished up at 3"x 9", I put a piece of Vilene H640 on the inside, and backed it with some natural Essex linen, all stitched together with Aurifil 2021 50wt.
I know, I have about a squillion pin cushions, and only about 8 pins that have not fallen victim to my sewing machine needle, but they all look pretty, and don't eat anything; I have already made another one from 500 Quilt Blocks, which I will show you tomorrow!
I think I need a chicken oxo one! I'll get to it right now! After my cuppa!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Brilliant! Now someone needs to do a veggie one too!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute, you might need to get some more pins if you are making another.
ReplyDeleteLove this!! And the "story" behind it.
ReplyDeleteWe have oxo cubes at our grocery stores in Oregon.

ReplyDeleteCould someone please come up with a solution for having all these pin cushions lying around, mine seem to be breeding too! I could do with some cute little shelves to display them all!

ReplyDeleteLaughing at Susan's comment! Reminds me a bit of that time around 2000 where you just HAD to have an imitation pepsi can or Walkers crisps pencil case- I had a fruit pastilles one.
ReplyDeleteYou do have the best sense of humor! And that pin cushion is pretty fun, too.
ReplyDeleteLove your Oxo pincushion, good thing I had Sunday roast yesterday or I'd need to go and make one tonight after seeing this. You're too funny!
