Pincushion
Colour#1 - stitches an outline - colour of your background material.
colour#2 - the circle in the middle where the button is placed - white in my case;
colour#3 - the heirloom stitch - white as well in mine;
colour#4 - the leaves
colour#5 - the flowers
colour#6 - the centre of the flowers
colour#7 - an optional outline if you want to make a square pincushion.
To make the pincushion in the picture:
Embroider two parts leaving out colour 7. Cut them out with a 6mm 1/4" seam allowance.
Place the corner of one at the centre of a side of the second part - the outline has a small mark at the point. Make a small cut to the stitched line at this point to make stitching easier. Sew them together either by hand or by machine leaving a small opening for turning and stuffing. Clip the corners after stitching and before turning.
If you find this too daunting you can make a square pincushion. Embroider one part, start the second part and after colour 6 place the first part face down in the hoop matching the designs and stitch colour#7 - remove from the hoop, turn, stuff and sew the opening closed.
Leaving out colours 1 and 7 you could use the design on a 'needle book' or use it in any other way you like.

373 Stitches out beautifully but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put the thing together! Does anyone have any more specific instructions? I feel like the answer's right in front of me but I'm having a mental block!

Thank you so much! I think I figured it out. Mine looks a little like a home made bar of soap but with enough pins and the beautiful design it should be ok :) I appreciate your guidance very much!

40747 Thank you - I have got to get busy and make one - been saying this for aboutr 4-5 days - now need to move on it. Thanks you again.
40747 Perfect, can not wait to stitch this out and see what I can do with it. It is a beautiful design. Thank you.
193 Thank you so much for this beautiful design, Martine. I went hunting yesterday for suitable designs but none 'fitted' the shape as well as this one does. You are so creative and generous. Lyn, mi30kaja, has started a trend which could very well become the signature item for the Cuties Group. I'm going to see what tiny tassles hanging from the top corners looks like.... might be too much but I'll give it a go.
Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas and what a lovely gift set it would make with a matching needle book!

1271 I want to thank you for a lovely design but most of all I would like to thank you for putting this download in sew. I get so few that are and it is the only machine I can sew up to a 5 x 7 design.
5372 Thanks for the instructions and design that you are sharing. I can't wait to try one. They look interesting and different Suzanne
26290 Thanks so much for your generosity! Can't wait to try this.

7239 Thank you for this pattern. I will just have to stitch this one as well. Best Wishes, Lyn
by mops 03 Mar 2011
You are the one that got me going, so I am very happy you'll have a go at this one as well. The design is not as intricate as the ones you made, but it does not take long to stitch.
18606 Could it be possible to have a matching little one to put on the little embrodery scissor? (I dosn't now the word in english!)
That could give me the possibility to make a present for my Daughter who hand-embroidered the evening (a very little day brake).... when childs are sleeping and just put her things for in the table of her living-room! Somethimes things are lost!!!
Many thanks for this.

t is made up of 2 squares. When you stitch them together you just off set them. The point of one square is attached to the flat of the other on each side.
