Turtles, Turtles Everywhere!
September 17, 2010
I’ve been working on a herd of Heather Bailey’s Henrietta turtle pincushions. For three days. These little guys are more time consuming than you might think. They are one of my FOF projects. I cut most of the fabric around April or May. Then they sat until this past Tuesday when I started working on them again. And here it is, Thursday, really Friday and I’m still. not. done.
I will definitely be done later today but I can’t believe how much time these have taken. Except for maybe two hours I spent on my embroidery, these have been the focus of my attention. They are fun, but challenging. My sixth one went better than the first. The first took me all of last night. They are fiddly, and I’m not used to working on such small things. The other problem with them is that they are almost too cute to use as pincushions. All this trouble to make them and I can’t bring myself to stick a pin in it.

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
