Pincushion

I wanted to make a pincushion for my work table.  After playing around with some of the stitched rectangles and circles from Papertrey Ink, I found that three of the second smallest rectangle would fit into one of the third smallest circles (after joining them along the short seams).

Supplies:

Dies: Stitched Rectangles, Stitched Circles - Papertrey Ink 

Other: Pink Thread - DMC 936; Pink Acrylic Felt; Fabric; Fusible interfacing

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

The theme for the spring coffee lovers blog hop is "Spring", so I chose to incorporate butterflies.

I assume that the phrase 'spring for' is used in many English speaking countries - it means to treat someone.  I made the phrase using a sketch pen on my Silhouette machine.

Ink:Sage, Turquiose, Orchid, Camellia, Narcissus - Versacolor; Black - Versafine
