I do love a vintage tin ........ Tutorial

Today it is my turn on the Penny Rose Fabrics Blog and I have a little tutorial for you on how to repurpose a Vintage Tin and how to make a coordinating Pincushion and Needle Book.

I found this tin in my travels at a little Thrift Shop in Maldon, Victoria and instantly knew what I want to do with it.

I like to have a few hand stitched projects on the go at any one time and as such, I store them in tins so that I can grab one as I am walking out the door 'just incase' a stitching moment arrises.

And lets face it, a pretty tin is always better than a plain tin and a vintage tin is alway that little more special.

If you pop on over HERE, I have a full tutorial on how to line your own tin,

and also a Tutorial for this cute Needlebook and English Paper Pieced Pincushion.

The Apple Template can be downloaded from HERE.

I have already been putting my tin to great use but more on this project at a later date.

Happy stitching,

Sharon xx

Strawberry Biscuit Fabric Fun

It is my turn again on the Penny Rose Blog to share what I have been creating with their gorgeous fabrics.  Their website is undergoing a little makeover and is not quite ready for my post so I am sharing it here for them :)

I have been busy playing with "Strawberry Biscuit" by Elea Lutz.
I just love this fabric range.

My latest play resulted in this "Cute Cups Cushion" from Lori Holts Book
"Quilty Fun".  My little girl has picked some of her favourite prints for the mugs.

A nice big cushion finishing at 24.5" square.

This cushion now resides in Lily's reading corner in her room.

I have also made a couple of other things.
This is my "Snuggle Time Quilt"
One of my first pattern releases :)
It finishes 42" square and is great for a beginner quilter with no points to match.

The batting was omitted on this one when it was quilted and backed it in Minky.

It has such a soft drape and feel.

Perfect for the new little person your life.

Alison over at Cotton Factory has kits made up in these exact fabrics if you are interested.

Available HERE

I have also made another cushion.

I have called this one "Strawberry Scallop"

This one also lives in my daughters room.

The tutorial for this one can be found under the Tutorials tab.

Remember to always

"Create what you love"
