A ME SEWING DAY!!

I was going to work on some projects yesterday and so I started on the new pattern--for the bird pin keep--got one sewed and I had picked out six or more fabric combo's for more when I remembered that I do not mass produce craft items any more!!!! But I wanted one for myself in the Diane Knott's fabric line I had gotten a couple months ago--along with a couple other accessories from her fabric--so I did just that--first I found the pieces of fabric for my "thread catcher" in the drawer that I had started months ago--got the ones done for gifts--but never got around to finishing mine??? took me a "few" minutes to figure it out as I could not find the pattern--I had gotten at Quilt club one month--but the "old" brain came though and I did it!!! Then I did the bird and made it into a Chatelaine and I used pink rick-rack for the ribbon--then I fussy cut 3 sewing items from Diane's fabric and made pincushions and so here is the pictures of my set:
Here is the chatelaine and the thread catcher:
And here is the three pin cushions--the little heart I am gluing on to a thread spool holder to keep by my quilt frame to hold my needles --if I can ever find time to quilt on it??? one will go in my quilt class tote and I know I will find a home for the other one???
Here's a picture of the pin keeper I made:
I just love the looks of these--but am having a hard time finding the right sized glass bottles for the bottoms of them--this one hole in the top was not large enough for small buttons and that is what is usually put in them--I put small beads in this one--when my friend Anne was here to quilt with me this morning and I was finishing him--she remarked how much she liked it--SO--I gave it to her!!!!
The pattern is called "Little Bird Pinkeeps" and is by Renee Plains and the company is Liberty Star--I picked the pattern up at my local quilt shop--last week or so.

Well, I need to go for now--take care and keep stitching---Hugs, just, Di
