Project Quilting 17.6 A Happy Handful

 

 The last and final prompt from Trish.  This year I  missed #4, Of Another Era. I started and failed in the completion.  Also I missed starting, doing, completing #5, My Complements. No post! I had company and doctor’s appointments. I planned on an Orange and Blue Tablerunner.

Anyway here we are. A Happy Handful.  The rules

Your project does not need to be a traditional quilt, but must meet at least one of these three requirements:

• include patchwork

• include appliqué

• have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
  And this week, small enough to fit in your hand. For a while now I have been thinking of a year long and rather intense project. I want to make initial pincushions for every member of my stitching group. When I first had the thought, we had about 8 members. Now we are up to 15. So, I’d better get a move on!
  They will be birthday gists and this challenge is just what I needed to get going. The alphabet charts are from Jenny of Elefantz. The free alphabet is no longer on her blog, but there are lots of tutorials for her lovely designs.
  I started with L. The next birthday is in April. So this lovely will go to Lynn. The rickrack defines a tiny pocket. It could hold a small embroidery scissors, or snips, or a tube of beads for her projects.
  

  
  
  Thanks Kim and Trish for another fabulous year of pushing me to think outside the box and “gitter done” !
