My newest design is in Homespun magazine.......

 And I couldn't be happier, Here are my stamped pin cushions, made from Linen and some beautiful Happy go lucky fabrics. Of course I added a touch of embroidery, it wouldn't be a Lizzie The Quilter Design without it.  I do love my stitchery.
 Its a lovely photo shoot they did, My project  looks really sweet in the basket of oranges don't you think?
 This one was my favourite pin cushion. I do love buntings.
 Remember last week I was showing bits of my Sew together bag, well its nearly finished and instead of doing the outside as one whole piece I made mine all patchy with lots of little bits. I dug into my box of Bonnie and Camille fabrics and picked out a few to make it look more like a mini quilt, the end result will be very pretty I hope, thats providing I make the last part without any problems, Bags aren't my strongest point thats for sure.
 My photos have got a bit mixed up so this one is my new Tilda table runner, all sewn and ready to be quilted by the wonderful Sarah. Tilda  fabric is so soft and pretty. I really love how this turned out.
 Now back to my sew together bag, this is a photo of the inside, see the 3 separate compartments, well they are inside the  bag. You will see it all finished very soon I hope then you will know what I'm talking about.
 My good friend Sunny who lives in America asked me to make her a Tilda doll, now she has arrived at her destination I can share a photo, she was fun to make. I'm so pleased Sunny loves her as much as I do. Give her a little hug from time to time from me please Sunny.
So thats what I've been up to, another week has come and gone. Only 3 weeks to go until I go to Melbourne for the AQC. I really can't wait.



Have a wonderful week and I hope you find some sewing time.

Your little pincushions are so adorable , Leanne, you just keep getting better and better. Where do you buy your stamps and stamp pads - are the pads fabric ink ones? See you at AQC - not long now.

Susan said...

Congratulations Leanne, they are so gorgeous. I'd love to know how you do the stamping too, it's so effective on the linen. Well done.

I noticed these and admired them in the digital download of the mag. Then I saw your name.
"Hey,", I thought to myself, "I sort of know her! "
It makes them an extra special project for me to do.
Well done! I really like them. :-)
I am still using your lovely needlework pouch.
Cheers!

How did I miss this post?!? Tilda Leanne is watching over me right now. I'm thinking of making a quilt just for her. I love your little pincushions. what a great idea with the stamping. I have quite a collection of stamps, so I think I'll try to borrow your idea.
