Pin It Blog Hop and a Giveaway
Welcome to "In The Boon Docks"
I hope everyone is enjoying the Pin It Blog Hop! The pincushions from the hop so far are awesome. I'm a little chicken to show you my own creations!
Thank you Madam Samm (The Blog Hop Queen) @ Sew We Quilt and Head Cheerleader Kristen @ Meadowbrook for arranging all the fun!
Petal
Last night I saw this amazing pin on Lori Holt's. bee in my bonnet. The flower is just so cute, I got up this morning and made this pincushion "Petals". I improvised a bit but I am so happy with it! Lori Holt has a great blog and is so talented! She inspires me which I think is the greatest reason to follow blogs. One idea can take you in a new direction!
Hilda Hen
I spent my time working on Hilda Hen and I just wasn't quite happy. I must have change her five times. I promised my Mom I would let you see her and decide for yourself. She will be moving into Mom's room after the blog hop, Hilda likes this old box to nest in.
Please visit the other bloggers in the hop for today!

ReplyDeleteI guess i should have made a pig. :)

Love, love, love your chicken. Super job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. You did a great job on both. I made the cathreal window pin cushion last winter and a large owl one. They are both my favorite and I use them alot. Thanks for having a give away.
ReplyDeleteYour hen is sew unique. How clever.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your pin cushions. Thanks for sharing. The last pin cushion I made was a flower with three rows of folded petals. I really like it but my guild friends liked it better. They voted it the Viewer's Choice at our Christmas party last year.
ReplyDeleteI follow on bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a jack o lantern pincushion.

ReplyDeleteI think Hilda is wonderful. She reminds me of myself; getting all gussied up in her red plummage. I'm really considering making a ring/button pincushion to use while doing handwork.
ReplyDeleteI think Hilda Hen looks quite happy nesting in her box! Has she laid any eggs that are pin cushions? That would be cute! Your Petal pin cushion is a great one to use some of my favorite fabric scraps! I have only made 1 pin cushion in the same style as the tomato ones, so I'm looking for ideas. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteCute flower and that Hilda is adorable! Love the box it's sitting in, too. :O)

ReplyDeleteHilda makes me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteI am making one a really like now. It is round(pink) with a Lt. Bl. bird, and flowers with leaves in pink, blue, off white, brown with the flowers cut with scallops. I adore it.
ReplyDeleteThank You
Lovely flower, and cute hen
ReplyDeleteOh dear...I don't use pincushions so I am not sure what I would have made...thinking creatively possibly a 'pin-a-saurous'a newly discovered dinosaur. :) Your flower is cute but your hen has melted my heart! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I saw that flower on Lori's site and thought pin cushion too...glad to see you made one :) And I like your hen, her "lips" are perfect!
ReplyDeleteHilda is just fabulous! What a great treasure for your mom!
ReplyDeleteI love the hen pin cushion but honestly I would have made a simple one that fits onto my sewing machine - so I stop dropping pins on the floor (I am a bare foot sewer with holes in my soles!!)
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog using Feedly. Thanks so much for writing such interesting posts. I really enjoy reading them.
ReplyDeleteI made a flowerpot pincushion =)

ReplyDeleteI am new in quilting world, and have just started a pin cusion from the blocks I've tried. But I still use the simple green pin cusion that I made when I was about 10. It is awful but I love it because of the memories. Now, I want to make a cathedral window cusion, too.
ReplyDeleteI already follow you. Love your posts.

I very much like the Chicken, I think it's very creative. I would probably have made a pincushion on a Mason jar lid with the jar, I like the travelling sewing kit idea. Thank you for sharing!
