I have spending a lot of my "winter" time reading...
not just my favorite...
historical fiction, or crazy enough,
even poetry
but also quilting books,
which is what sweet dreams are made of!
It is no news that I love pretty much everything
by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company
also known as Carrie Nelson...
So, above
is a couple of my newest books and I have actually
had a little free play time to experiment with the Pin Pals
pincushions book by Carrie Nelson.
Published by Martingale Publishers.
Here are a few other pincushions that are projects
in the book.
They all are so cute... so fair warning...
if you start making them,
it will be like
"If you give a mouse a cookie"
syndrome so be prepared!
(the images here are from the Pin Pals book)
Carrie is a master of small blocks and Schnibbles,
but her techniques and tips for making up
these precious gifts (for a friend or yourself)
really puts her in a league of her own.

I love all the information in the book including tips
when you poke a hole in your corner when turning
the pin pal and
all the info on types of thread.
So helpful!
Does it look like there are a lot of
pincushions?
The book is jammed packed with 40 different
projects... that are great for using up your
favorite little
bits of fabrics or showcasing
your mini charm packs!
You can find a copy of this book on Amazon
and also at Martingale Publishers.
Carrie has another book that has just been
released...
isn't she busy?
I will share more about Summer Moon next time along
with a few finished
pincushions of mine from the
Pin Pals book.
Thank you for visiting me!
