Crazy Pincushion Embellishment with Lorna Bateman

Crazy January

This month we seem to be going a little crazy! and we start this week by making Crazy Pincushions with Lorna Bateman .

The free throwback Thursday workshop of Crazy Patchwork with Valerie Nesbitt is quick and easy and uses just 5 Fat ¼’s (yards or meters) and there is an E-Z template to help (but this isn’t essential) and later in the month Valerie will be showing you how to use this safely with the rotary cutter.

There are some great fabric options in the shop too – two bundles from Creative Quilting – Our Friends in the Garden bundle or the Autumn Fields bundle -they are very different but both from the English design house Lewis & Irene.
Then again you could use the stunning Kaffe Fassett bundles from Lady Sew & Sew, which you’ll see below, are our Product of the Month .
