Hi everyone,
I had a terrific time this past week at the April monthly meeting for the Portland Modern Quilt Guild. I met new people and saw some wonderful quilts as well as a preview from Violet Craft’s new fabric line called Brambleberry Ridge.
This month, members were invited to make a pin cushion and bring it in a brown paper bag. At break time, we got to exchange pin cushions by choosing a brown paper bag and finding our surprise inside!
I made a cute little bird pin cushion using red and aqua fabrics. The pattern is by Joel Dewberry. You can find the pattern for free here.
After I finished the bird, I took a wooden spool and wrapped it in red ribbon. I then attached the wooden spool to the bird to give it a cute little base.
Here’s a look at the pin cushion I made:

I received this great pin cushion in exchange with colors that I really like. My thanks to Ellen Colburn for making this beautiful pin cushion!

Today, I worked on quilting my Triangle QAL. I hope to get the binding stitched on later tonight and will take photos of the finished quilt this week.
Enjoy!

I am thrilled with my pincushion Jennifer! I just can’t thank you enough for making her for me. I named her Penelope and she is fitting right in over here at Qreative Quilts.
Jennifer, I looked all over the room to see who got the pin cushion I made but didn’t find you with it. I am so happy you got it and that you like it. Thank you. Ellen Colburn
I love the bird pin cushion
