Just a stitch in the ditch on the tree skirts. One day I'll get brave and practice some free motion, but I'm not there, yet.How will you quilt the tree skirts? All over, or accenting the panels?
I'll venture to guess one is a front shoe and the other a hind. It's in my mind that fronts are rounder and hinds are narrower, but my memory sucks...Interesting how the horse shoes are shaped differently.
The thing I like about raw wool is the oil content, which kept pins and needles from rusting. The walnut shells are supposed to keep them nice and sharp. I like the idea of an insert to keep the needles from disappearing in the cushion. It's amazing how many needles one finds when tearing apart old tomato cushions!Here is a link to other ideas of what to stuff pin cushions with. On this one. I was just trying to test the pattern so I just used batting in it. I also made a pattern for a smaller pin cushion so I can do a wrist strap with velcro. I haven't finished one up yet. We have been busy cleaning up all the branches that came down this winter and spending a lot of time outside.
I also like to use wool roving, but I am thinking of using the crushed walnut shells as they sell them in one of the fabric stores near me.
I love your button, very interesting.
I like the quilting design!Finished a wallhanging....
