I have been busy sewing towards Christmas ... there is a real feeling of freedom when one actually ticks of all projects.
Cushions give great scope to the imagination, the cushion designs all emanated from my own head, which does go to show I do have some creative ability initiative.
Recently a tutorial I watched from HGTV Forum gave clear directions as to foundation piecing, and as the subject to be made was a Christmas tree, I gave it a go ... three times. These trees are an excellent beginning to foundation piecing, though I have done a little before, with much trepidation.
Last year I made two cute pincushions and had it in my mind to make another. Two days of searching through the far too many magazines I have was successful ... the magazine in question was right under my nose; I must have put it aside knowing I would make another 'lady pincushion'. These are simple to make out of small pieces of fabric; the only real requisite being doll's hair.
At the moment I have no pressing sewing ... Yay!!

Everything is just so lovely, Shirley. You are indeed creative! I love that doll pincushion. My oldest granddaughter would love one of those. She would have to hide it from her little sister at this stage though. :-)
