Sew Turn and Stuff

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!
