...We each picked a THEME (mine was Four Seasons). We each stitched the first section on our own round mat...I stitched Spring and then mailed it to the next person! While they worked on my Round, I worked on theirs!
So off on it's journey it went and along the way it got the seasons...WINTER...
SUMMER....
It now hangs in my kitchen AND I LOVE IT!!
Great fun and a great keepsake from my blogging buddies! Now I can FULLY enjoy it hanging in my kitchen! Simply PERFECT!
A happy ending that took FIVE years....but then good things always take aging...right? I wonder if the other three ever finished their's off...Come on Kaaren, Lori and Karen...fess up! Is your's finished and if so, we want to see! We will be watching! The links to their blogs are in the first paragraph...have a visit...they are still quilting like CRAZY!
I hope you have a FUN Friday and happy stitching!~P
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYour lightbulb moment was brillant! The wool and the stitchery is just too awesome to stash away. I wonder if the others are madly digging for their piece. :0)
ReplyDeletePaulette, were you posting on the Wool Crazy blog at the time?
ReplyDeleteI got three friends to do one also, except we were local. I put up the first post on my blog August 2nd 2010 and mine was done November 17th! I made it into a sewing case that nicely holds those bobbin rings along with other goodies. The theme was flowers and bugs. Debbie's was Halloween, she made a large oval pin cushion, Sandi's theme was Autumn and I think she applied to the lid of a basket. Ethel's was Mr. McGarrity's garden. All our tops were finished by October 12!
Sweet as can be!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteLove it and such a great idea!! Enjoy, Janie
ReplyDeleteLove how you finished it. Sometimes we just need time to come up with great ideas.
ReplyDeleteProving that you CAN have too many pincusions? Stewed to perfection!
ReplyDeleteThat is the craziest idea ever for a pin cushion transformation but it looks amazing and you get to admire it every day in the kitchen, so what is not to love! I think you might just put Martha Stewart out of a job!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious from beginning to end!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Good that you think out of the box, hard for me to do. I made about 5 of those pin cushions, enough for now.
ReplyDeleteWow, you always amaze me with your ideas and what you pull out of those stowed away bags.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun idea for the piece and it really looks beautiful on the board.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
So darned cute. Love that you mounted it on the board. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI remember this project. I loved it, but knew I would never make a pincushion. Such a good idea to mount it where it is more easily seen and appreciated.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely way to display this beauty far too beautiful to stick pins into, loving it
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful happy ending! Love the way you displayed it!
ReplyDeleteHow right. All good things take aging even us! What a beautiful wall ornament in wool and embroidery. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea and a great addition to your kitchen, well done!
ReplyDeleteMine's been finished for years! LOL I like what you did with yours!

I didn't realize that yours was not done. Mine was square and I fit it into a frame. It has been hanging on the wall ever since. Good way to display yours, Paulette. I have not seen a cutting board in that shape before.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant finish Paulette!
