It's ironic in a way that the last Patchwork, Please project I have to share is in reality the first one I made. Yup, when we first got our books,
daughter dear and I couldn't wait to get started and made Prettified Pincushions together one afternoon. And so, yes, I've been using mine all through the sew along as I've stitched up one project after another.
This is one of those projects where scraps just shine. And the little paper-piecing required makes it perfect for any skill level. I filled mine with crushed pecan shells and added a sweet crochet-covered button from my grandma's button tin. What a satisfying beginning
and end to sewing along!
Meanwhile, I need to announce a winner from among the commenters on last week's
