Blueberry tart
It's one of the pincushions I'm making for my guild's 25th anniversary. They plan to give each of the charter members one at a party in November.
They don't take long to embroider and it's fairly monotonous work. However, because there are several different steps, I really can't do anything else at the same time.

Except for snapping funny pictures of my dog...

Doesn't she look rabid or something? So far, I've managed to get 6 tarts and 10 pies done in a mix of blueberry and cherry fabric. I've also finished 3 sunflowers. I'd like to embroider another 5 sunflowers - perhaps this afternoon.
Unstuffed pincushions
I'm going out of town for the holiday weekend and figure this will be a nice project to take with me. I can stuff and sew them closed while visiting with family. Perhaps when I return I can show you a finished one.
I'm bringing Gabriel with me when I travel so she can visit with her new best friend, Chance (aka mini-me).
My sister's dog Chance
After playing with him for 5 hours last time, she was passed out for 2 days. Any bets on how long it will take to recover from a 3 day playfest? Although Gabriel needs to lose some weight (about 10 lbs) so the activity will be good for her.
Until later...

Is that lg. ric-rac you used to divide the fabric and then embroidered on top of that? Love your finished products :0)
