Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings "New Beginning" Pincushion |
I spent most of the weekend stitching. I completed this sweet pincushion from Primitive Gatherings. It's called "New Beginning". I chose a "redder" colored wool because this color is often seen on Wisconsin deer in the spring.
I filled this pincushion with crushed walnut shells. It's my favorite filler for pincushions because it's heavy and keeps the pincushion from scooching around my work table. (Yes "scooching" is a real word. lol)
Brynwood Needleworks - Wool Box - Dragonfly Dreams Block |
This is the first block I completed from the Wool Box. The finished project is called "Dragonfly Dreams", but no one knows what it will look like when it's done.

This was the second block I completed. Don't you love the colors? I'm going to stick with the Wool Box subscription just so I can get more of these blocks!
On another note, I was contacted by MA yesterday, asking that I draw a new number for the third giveaway gift from the "Be My Valentine" Giveaway. She lives in Canada and asked that I give the gift to a domestic commenter instead. The new winner was chosen via Random.org, and the result is below. (Yes. I screencapped on the correct computer this time!)
Congratulations, Bonnie Biggers!!!
I already have your address, so you won't need to email it to me.
(Thanks again for your generosity, MA.)
Your work is so beautiful. The New beginning pincushion is adorable!

Love that pillow.
ReplyDeleteBehind our house & down the hill is the Rock River.
We see Deer almost every night about 4:00-5:00, so pretty.
We also see Marsh Deer, the Horicon Marsh is a few miles away.
They are darker in color, & have different antlers, so pretty too.
Very nice Dragonfly blocks.
Very nice of MA.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteHoricon Marsh is one of my favorite Wisconsin places, and the Rock River is beautiful. How wonderful that you live so close and get to see the deer. Lucky Girl!
Thanks for the compliments, girlfriend.

I don't know which I like better - the deer or the floral block! They both look so soft and cozy. Congratulations to Bonnie! I'm so glad that someone else will be blessed.
