Laura has received the Valentine Exchange I made her for the HoE. I really had a lot of fun making this little pincushion :)
Hugs and Kisses freebie byErica Michaels
fabric: 32ct cream Belfast Linen
fibers: GAST and WDW, my selection
filled with poly-pellets
For a special touch: a ribbon tag :)
I haven't been able to locate this freebie online. Does anyone know if it's still available? You can see the extras I sent on Laura's blog. I thought I was cutting back on my committments, but January has me seeing 2 exchanges and 2 gifts, LOL! Ah well, keeps me out of trouble (sort of!)I finished the green vest. Just need to sew the button on. So stay tuned. Sending you all a little Colorado sunshine...Have a Wonderful Weekend!!!
Oh Staci, this is really nice pincushion. I love the extras, the little tag and the heart on the back.
ReplyDeleteStaci, this is one precious pincusion. I absolutely adore it. Love the idea of the tag too - you neat girl! :o)
ReplyDeleteStaci this is lovely! Your personal touches make it very special. The colors look as delicious as a box of chocolates!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Valentine pincushion you made for Laura! I love the design and the colors.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope someone can locate the freebie & tells us where it is! I would love to stitch this!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOMG, love it!! This is the perfect Valentine's Day pattern! I hope someone finds the pattern otherwise, I may have to tear up the internet trying to find it this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable, Staci! You did a great job. I love the little heart on the back and the tag. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally CUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
XOXO

This is a very nice pinecushion!! I like it!
ReplyDeleteLovely finish Staci!
ReplyDeleteLove your pincushion-it is so pretty:)
ReplyDeletewhere did you ever find the pattern?
What a lovely pincushion! I'm in awe of your finishing skills!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable, Staci!
ReplyDeleteIt's darling! I'm with everyone else, I would love to find the freebie!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely stitched pressie, and with that special little tag - ingenious! And the goodies are just the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteHi Staci,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute pincushion
finish!! The various shades of
pink are lovely together and the
tic tac toe design is classic.
"Lo" is looking so delicate and
sweet, and if there's a mistake
on it I sure can't see it. Ah
well, we all have our moments!
You've been knitting up a storm
as well I see. That green vest
is going to be stunning and I
can't wait to see it completed.
And look at all that sock wool
waiting to be fashioned into
multiple pairs of rainbow hued
footwear.
However do you choose which one
to knit with next?? Close your eyes, stick out your hand and
pluck the winner out from the
pile?
You can knit and read at the
same time??? I could never
do that. I get too caught up
in whatever book I'm reading
to be able to do anything
else at the same time, other
then breathing that is.
I'm glad to hear that your
Dad is doing well after his
surgery. Please add my best
wishes to all the others that
have been sent his way.
Is it as cold where you are
as it is here??? Definitely
time to hibernate and stitch!
Cheers!!
That's the sweetest pin pillow! I love the little tag you added! Laura will treasure this.
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion is so cute. I love how you added the ribbon @ the corner! Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteToo adorable!!! I love the colors and hope you can find the pattern, cuz I want it! The little tag/ribbon extra just makes it so special!
ReplyDeleteHoping that your dad got to come home???
Hugs,
Carolyn :)
Hi Staci,
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a cute pincushion! I, too, would like the chart. I e-mailed Erica Michaels about the pattern and here is the reply I received:
Sorry - that design was retired a number of years ago. I think they only way you might find it is with a shop that might still have copies to distribute, etc.
Good luck!

Hi Staci,
ReplyDeleteI just cannot get over this design and must have it. I have decided that I will try to chart it myself. Can you give me the colors you used...they are perfect.
Thanks
