Two Pincushions



I have finished the two little pincushions that I started many years ago. By hand, I button hole stitched 'round the hearts and then added running stitch on the edges of the light strip. The flowery stitch is one of the decorative stitches on my machine. I was inspired to use this after seeing Tali's little cushion. Turned out okay I think.

PINCUSHION NO 1


PINCUSHION NO 2


Each afternoon Oliver finds a quiet spot for a long nap. Couldn't resist showing these photos of him from yesterday. He's such a little sook!



How cute!



Through blogging I have discovered he has a double living in Paris! Tonya from Lazy Gal Quilting has a cat called Habibi who looks just like Olly. Apparently Habibi hails from Cairo and is one of a clan of four quilting felines.

  3. hmm, I don't know that Bibi looks just like Olly. Olly is thinner and less scruffy. Bibi definitely looks like his seedier twin though!
