Talk about adorable.

So lovely!

Can we see the finished piece, too, when you are ready?

The L's come out great -- and I can see why you wanted the penguin on the same side, it looks so much better this way!

Lisa · Post by **Lisa** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:35 pm

of course Agi. but the postman didnt bring me the tape or light effects

Paul found some double sided foam tape in woolies today, but I think I may use the flatter acid free tape

thanks for your comments everyone

You've done a great job with this, Lisa!

The L looks like that was the letter that was supposed to be used all along instead of it being the straight part of the T. How does Paul like it?

Lisa · Post by **Lisa** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:07 pm

he loves it, keeps bugging me to make it up, but i wanna use the acid free tape. so I said if it doesnt come tomorrow, i will use the foam tape

I had a break from policy writing before xmas and did a lil mini project, but couldnt finish it till i got the fibre fill, which I get today. Here it is (Agi I kept thinking of you whilst making it as its called "Folk Hearts Pincushion"

Busy_B · Post by **Busy_B** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:21 pm

Cute pincushion! That's the type I need to do--sewing can all be done on the outside without having to turn it right side out and sewing the closure.

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:55 pm

That's a great pincushion, Lisa -- like BB I am all for things you can sew on the outside

. It looks as though the seam is sewn about two blocks in from the fringing, is that right? And if so, how do you keep it from fraying further inward?

kerbear879 · Post by **kerbear879** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 3:01 pm

I agree with the others! What a fantastic pincushion!

Lisa · Post by **Lisa** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 3:03 pm

Mabel it is indeed frayed 2 blocks from the sides as per the instructions of the kit. I'm not sure of stopping it fraying. But I am ashamed to say I think it may be put in the drawer and forgotton about
