When I got home yesterday, I made the pincushion from the book for my partner in the DSDQ swap as she likes them. I also covered a button with some Hometown fabric which Debbie kindly sent to me earlier this month as part of a fabric swap.
What really attracted me to this sew along was that I love sewing with linen and it is used in nearly all of the projects in the book, which range from a number of simple items that could be used for gifts or in a sewing room, to a tote bag and quilt.
I don't know if I will make everything in the book right now but maybe someday....................

Very cool. Love your colored button, & love that you're stitching along!
ReplyDeleteI love your pin cushion. I may be the only person left who hasn't bought the book!
ReplyDeleteHeh, I wouldn't worry about being late, I bought the book in plenty of time and finished 4 of the totes, a day late, and last week's pincushion, a day late, and I'm not really holding my breath for this week, although I would like to make this week's one...
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so cute! I may have to buy the book too : )
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh that is so gorgeous! Great fabrics and I love the button!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I love sewing with linen as well. This book is on my short list!

That's such a fancy pincushion and I love it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLovely pincushion! I have some Echo as well, but I have yet to cut into it, I can't make up my mind what to make. I'm sure your sewing kit will turn out great.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteLove the tape measure trim. Just finished my sewing kit today, but still haven't finished the tote (on second attempt!) and I did have the book before the start :) Looking forward to seeing your sewing kit in the Flickr group.
ReplyDeleteLove your pincushion. The book looks awesome, the projects are wonderful. Got to try it.
