And a theme was born. Needlework & sewing. I'm not much of a sewer, but I am familiar with some of the tools of the trade. Pincushions are useful. I did not know that you could get pincushions on rings.

Nor had I seen them in cups.

Well, now I know.
I have always admired quilts, and I was surprised to find that some of the team members sell them. The work that must go into these...
They're so beautiful that they belong as wall art. If only I could sew...

Then I found something nearer to what I'm familiar with--a crochet hook storage device.

I wasn't sure where to end this post until I stumbled across this cape...
I want a cape. I need a cape. No, I don't need a cape, but I do want a cape.
That'll do it for now. If you could sew (or if you do sew), which would you rather sew: a quilt or a cape? And do you prefer your pincushions on your finger or in a cup?

So much talent! I love the quilts!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and post! I wish I had time to sew...love the cape. Makes me want one too...everything shown is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBTW I loved the Animanicas when I was younger! =)
What a great theme and great finds. So much talent on this team! :) Great job on the article too!
ReplyDeletewow....use to sew, but not longer have the time or patience. Love the quilts and the fun pin cushions.
ReplyDeleteLove your commentary too. Had me grinning...
I'd love to learn how to sew quilts one day. Terrific finds!
ReplyDeleteI sew but hate to read a pattern so clothes are not my thing. Quilts are fun to make. I use my tea cup pin cushion from Stichuation every day and they make great gifts too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this sewing article!
You caught my interest with "Stitchy" and kept me with the great items..and what a fun surprise to see one of my pincushions!
ReplyDeleteI would use the teacup pincushion. The ring pincushion is so cute but I am afraid my thread would get all tangled up in it. Very nice finds...makes me want to pull out the sewing machine! Thanks for doing this post.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Oh - love what you found. I love quilts and you found some gorgeous ones!
ReplyDeleteI would rather sew the cape. Requires far less patience than a quilt. I can sew , but don't much like to any more, so I find creative ways to connect garments, like felting a cape. As far as the pin cushion goes, they never make it beyond the arm of my chair.
