Welcome to my turn showing off my
Bowls with Borders!!!
Bowls with Borders!!!
Finally! Here are MY bowls! This was more difficult for me than I thought it would be.
Trust me not to read the instructions first!
I think I finally got it by time I finished my last two bowls. :o(
The green is more muted so they have more of a vintage look to them.
I want to call it "Button Parfait" LOL
Also,
in honor of my small accomplishment I am having a giveaway!
in honor of my small accomplishment I am having a giveaway!
I will be putting more of these pincushions up soon on my sale site at www.memoriesgarden.blogspot.com. Each one is individually handcrafted with a kaleidoscope quilt block using my own copyrighted pattern. These cushions are filled with crushed walnut shells for weight and form and have a solid bottom so pins cannot go through to damage furniture. I scour high and low looking for the perfect vintage or modern buttons or gems that will enhance each one.
The real treat is that not only is every one beautiful, but no two are exactly alike. Not even I will know what they will look like until the last seam is made.
