Do you see this antique pincushion in the upper corner of the photo? I bought this off the bay of evil a few months back. I LOVE it!!!! It is made with wood and is hand carved and painted. The center of the "sandwich" is where the pins go. I should have added some so you could see how it looks. It was a fabulous find to add to my collection of pincushions.
This little flower in the corner is my favorite. I love the unusual leaves, they remind me of thistles.

Speaking of pincushions, look what I received in the mail today. A beautiful red pincushion stitched by Patty of Hanging By A Thread. Her stitching is meticulously "perfect". Amazing work Patty, you deserve a shout out on this!!! This Random Act of Kindness is truly appreciated and deserves to be paid forward. A sweet reminder that it is my turn to give back.
This is what the flip side of the cushion looks like. I have been spoiled lately, thank you sooo much dear Patty, I will cherish it always.
And finally here is a quick looksie at what I will be starting next. I have changed everything on this one. I am sooooo excited to put my needle to work on this one. Thanks for visiting and happy stitching!!!

(It's beautiful, Jolene. :)
Great finish and fantastic pincushion! Sweet RAK, too. :)
What a lovely and pretty finish :) Snaps would add texture to the piece, but I think it is lovely one its own too. And I certainly in IN LOVE with that pincushion! Patty C is a sweet young lady and that RAK is definitely the sweetest! Will love to see your Halloween Stitch all done up! I did the Witch's shoe a couple of years ago and it continues to be a Halloween favorite here at our house!
What a pretty finish and cute gift!!!!
The pinwheel looks fantastic Jolene. Well done. ; ) Another cool pincushion? If I did not know better I would think you are collecting them. : )) Oooh, I love your new project. I have been wanting to stitch that wicked boot for ages. I love La D Da.
It arrived about an hour ago. Thank you for all the lovely goodies. My first Shepherd bush fully kitted!! Thank you again Jolene. I will treasure all of it.
