The daisy trim one on the left turned out so pretty. The rose motif was from a bridal lace I was given. And the one on the bottom features a section of a lace collar for a young girl's dress.
I have more to fill and finish up but this morning was devoted to clearing off table tops in the sewing room. Stacks of bits and pieces to put away, but all is now cleared and sorted.
The heat is relentless and the humidity is thick and heavy. Much too hot to even sit outside.
Sir Old Man came home with a surprise after a trip to Ace Hardware. We added it--- small flag with a special symbol---to the back walk by the Japanese Maple. It's like the one shady spot near the house and can be seen from the back patio.
Stay cool. Stay safe.
happy stitching.
I love the sentiment on the flag, not to mention your newest pincushions! You're on a roll with these, and I can see how they would be very addicting, with all the pretty bits you're adding to the scraps. Hot and humid everywhere it seems, although we've been having T-storms roll through every couple days, so at least the garden is being watered!
ReplyDeleteYour pincushions are so lovely, Debbie. Beautiful combinations with a very Victorian flare.
ReplyDeleteNice flag for the yard.
Your pincushions are darling! Do you mind sharing what you are using for the fill? I have a friend that would probably drive 3 days if she could talk you out of that little flag. I'll have to see if I can locate one for her. This heat and humidity is getting old but, thank goodness, we are able to enjoy the screened porch early in the morning. Stay cool! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteLove these new pincushion and the sentiment on the flag!!
ReplyDeleteThe pincushions are really neat. I love pins of all kinds and they all need their own pincushion otherwise it is pin chaos.
ReplyDeleteI have a cardinal flag in my garden, too. And very nicely I have two pair of cardinals fledging in the side Maple and visit the feeder thru the day. I do love these pin cushions and plan on introducing the idea to our guild program committee as a group project/exchange.
ReplyDeleteYes, pincushions are a great small project to allow for exploration.
ReplyDeleteIt has been unbearably hot here also. I am thankful every day for the A/C
These pincushions are gorgeous. We're definitely in the dog days of summer, but hoping for a few showers this week.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty pin cushions. I am rather drawn to the daisy chain. A happy flag to see from the window too. Such beautiful birdies. I have seen some whilst on holiday and visiting my Canadian relations. They take your breath away, the colour so intense.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie. :D
Your garden flag is so pretty---Sir Old Man did good on that one! We generally have cardinals every morning & evening that come for their feed. You are doing great on those little pin cushions. They are so elegant & delicate looking. It's always nice to have small projects that you can work on that don't take up a lot of time. Try to stay cool & keep safe.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you & Sir Old Man.
Nice to have some small projects to work on when it's too hot to tackle larger quilts. We have a cardinal pair and one day I got to watch a little mating dance between them. Our super hot weather has retreated for a few days, but due back for the weekend.

this is a grand place to use tiny bits of lace! Thanks for that idea! Your shady spot looks inviting, and I miss my hostas back in MD... all the swaying tall flowers this time of year.
ReplyDeleteLittle projects are so satisfying because they come together so quickly! Your flag is so cheerful and uplifting :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Thanks for the inspiration!
