As I sit and wait for Maggie's new book 'Pure and Simple', I decided to
practice my stitching skills by making these
'Heart and Hand' pin
cushions from MB's "With These Hands".
One for my daughter, Sandy and
two for my
grand daughters, Kohana and Kylie.
The hand is mine traced,
somewhat shorter and
stubbier than the one in Maggie's pattern.
Am really enjoying stitching these.
Maybe I need one too???
One is half way done the other two are waiting in line. Want these ready for Easter ... Hope I make it.

Thank you Lauren. I am finally getting the hang of doing the blanket stitch. Really am enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Week ... Barb
Hi Barb,
ReplyDeleteWhat special gifts for your loved ones!!! They will surely treasure it, especially since it is not only "your own hand" but also because your hands actually made it!! I love that pattern and need to make myself one as well!!
Hope you have a lovely week, my friend!
Heart Hugs~

Hi Julie, I am thinking the same ... One for Me. They were fun, stuffed them with lavender buds and crushed walnut shells. Worked out great and boy do they smell good. Hope the little ones like them. We will be with them on Saturday and be home on Sunday for mass and a small(3 of us)Easter diner.
DeleteHappy Easter to you and your family, Barb
