Mixed Fruit Jam Tart Pin Cushion |
A pin cushion from one small portion of the tablecloth. The mold is an old tart mold that someone painted white once upon a time. |
Two wall hanging using corners off the tablecloth secured into embroidery hoops I bought at Goodwill for 25 cents apiece. |
The pieces created so far plus a piece that is destined to become a couple pins. |
One of the center appliques. I can't wait to find a use for this wonderful section! |
I am hoping to set up a table of my handmades a couple Saturday's this summer at a local winery's weekly Artisan Market. Hopefully I can get all the paperwork squared away in time for the first market on May 5th.
The new pin cushions, some hand made wool felt carrots and some doll or teddy bear sweaters. You can see at the back right a bit of a felt food breakfast set (I have bag lunch felt sets as well). |
I am hoping to include some of my totes that I make from vintage materials, some hand knits (hats, doll sweaters and washcloth's and keepers) and some smalls like these pin cushions I just made. I will post pics of what I plan on bringing and the location when all is finalized in case any readers are from the Twin Cities area and are interested in a fun way to spend a Saturday.
Knitted washcloth's and their accompanying "keepers" (I have a couple more almost done in a couple other color schemes). They make great housewarming or hostess gifts! |
