Harvest Time

2 of my 5-a-day!

These 2 mini pincushions fashioned as an apple and pear took literally minutes to make. I thought they would be much more fiddly but in fact were really easy.  I did machine the sections together first and then finished off with hand sewing.  I think I might get addicted to making them, probably end up with a basket full!

Cross-Stitch Pincushion

This is one of my first attempts at cross-stitch from an idea from The Making Spot.  I used 28 count even-weave which is very tiny so I nearly went blind stitching it!  It was worth it though as I think the finished project looks great.  This would make a great gift for someone even if it's used just as an ornament.
