Pincushions you ask?

Yep, that is about 80 pincushions over there. I've made 80 pincushions each year, for the past 3 years for a quilt retreat. Those are last years. At the moment I'm working on the 4th set of 10 for this year (almost half way done!) The retreat is in November so I have plenty of time. Plenty of time.... Plenty of time I say? HA! Unfortunately I have to work for a living, so I put myself on schedule to do at least 10 every two weeks so that I have time to do other projects too. By the time I'm down to the 80th pincushion I've had enough. So I figure I'm half way to enough :-) It's a darn good thing that the retreat is only once a year!

You are so good at making these pincushions - I tell you something, you sure have more patience for repetition than I have. Half way to enough ..... you go girl!

Wow, that's alot of pincushions! You ROCK!

BTW, I couldn't respond to your comment about my applique. I don't do needleturn (failed at it miserably) so I prep my pieces using the P3 method and then handsew my pieces. And, Vicky is responsible for shoving me off the hand applique fence over a year ago - LOL

Congratulations, and good luck with your schedule.
I am truly amazed that you make them - by yourself. :)

Good for you - I am totally impressed!!
