Sarah said the pattern was in an issue of Australian Country Threads. She has been very busy as she made one for Cathy as well. No excuse for a mess when I'm stitching in front of the telly anymore.
I love the little bear stitchery and am delighted to have another pincushion to add to my collection. Which reminds me - I guess I really should put the Easter tree and all its pincushion decorations away!
After receiving such a lovely gift, I now feel rather guilty that I haven't even started making mine yet! Just as well this challenge was a 365 day one. The next few weeks will be very busy at work with final preparations for and performing at an eisteddfod, so I have decided to make my PIF gifts my main projects to work on in the school holidays in June.
Will post again soon. Still haven't shown all my Autumn Gathering pictures and have a few things that I've been pottering along with to show as well. Thanks to everyone who has visited and left comments lately. Sorry if I haven't replied yet - will try to catch up soon.
what a nice gift you have received. Just lovely. Can't wait to see more of Autumn gathering.
