I heard from
Andrea today that she has received the mattress pincushion that I made for her on the Make a Wish BB. I am not entirely happy with the finishing on this one, and I just can't refrain myself from admitting that. I wish I had put 1-2 more layers of batting in it... and I have no idea why it puckered a little along the bottom edge of the front... all seemed to be going well with great tension... so very critical of myself! Must stop doing that!
Evening in the Garden Mattress PincushionIndigo Rose - in The Needleworker, Feb/March 200036 ct Summer Khaki Edinburgh Linen, Caron Waterlilies, DMC Floss....back to exchange stitching ;-)
Oh! I received a lovely Mattress Pincushion exchange from Jill today! Wait until you see! I could not get a good photo tonight - it was dark and rainy when I got in from work, but I will show you tomorrow ;-) Thank you Jill - I love it!

What a beautiful piece of work.
what a great job you did.
Carol, it is magnificent! You must stop being so self-critical. It's gorgeous.
Absolutely stunning Carol!
very lovely!
This is beautiful! Lovely design, and lovely stitching - don't be harsh with yourself, I'm sure Andrea loves it!
It's stunning Carol, congratulations
Carol, it's beautiful! Just gorgeous!
It looks perfect to me! I often wonder why these kinds of things happen. My biscornus always have some little pucker no matter how careful I am.
It's beautiful!
I think that is absolutely gorgeous Carol:)
i think it is stunning if only my stitching came out like that.. lol
Carol, I absolutely love this mattress pincushion! The pattern and the finish are beautiful! After I made my patriotic scissor fob (my first), I also beat myself up about not putting enough batting in it. But I think it's fine and I think yours is perfect!
So pretty!
Lovely, lovely, lovely! =)
It's first time I see this pattern - and it's wonderful! You made a wonderful pincushion - don't be so critical :)
I think it looks wonderful. You do beautiful work.
I love it! It is so delicately stitched and I love the colours.
Wow! That's a beauty!! I haven't tried my hand at one of these yet, but I'll keep in mind about the layers of batting. Sooooo pretty!
