This is the second challenge of Season 12 of Project Quilting.
My entry:
Fussy Words
Kim at Persimon Dreams hosts Project Quilting
and
and
this is the 9th year I'm participating.
Kim announces a challenge and you have one week to create something quilty.
Prizes can be won and it's a great way to meet new blogging friends.
The rules in this challenge are that the project must feature a fussy cut of some beloved fabrics and feature the best parts. It must include either applique, piecing, or have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.
I chose this wordy fabric. It was a fat quarter at one time but has no selvage. I would love to tell you the manufacturer or designer, but I have no idea. If you know, let me know.
Update: thank you Unknown (no reply comment) for the info!
The fabric is Odds and Ends by Julie Comstock of Cosmo Cricket for Moda
I had so much fun with my last Project Quilting Challenge that I decided to go down the same road with a different pattern. I designed and printed a paper pieced pattern for tiny pieces
and made myself another pincushion.
or
(in truth) the ones that fit the space.
Too much fun!

Am I sensing a theme, Carla? LOVE these fussy cut phrases! I really need to go get some more crushed walnut shells, as mine got used up no so long ago.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pin cushions.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone knows the name of this fabric or manufacture please post. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect fabric for fussy cutting! I have some similar fabric, but the words/font is much larger. I thought about using it somehow for this week's challenge, but moved onto other fabrics instead. Love those pincushions!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that pincushion!! (and I loved that yellow and gray one too when you showed it off--still do love it, by the way) What a great way to fussy cut!
ReplyDeleteI think this fabric is Odds and Ends by Julie Comstock of Cosmo Cricket for Moda.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to know where you obtained the perfect sized paper piece square for the pincushion, because I have to make this!
I’m soon love with this pincushion! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love this! What a great take on fussy cutting.
ReplyDeleteLove this and that you may be onto a pincushion theme for the year...it will be fun to see what happens week 3.
ReplyDeleteLove both pin cushions. You're fussy cut piece might be the fussiest!

What a perfect fussy cut project for the challenge. Truly inspiring Carla
ReplyDeleteLove this pincushion!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pinnie! I had some of that same fabric, just a tiny piece, and I made a coneflower, using the words as the petals of the flower. Thanks for letting me know the details on the fabric, too. I didn't have any information, so this is helpful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous use of that fabric! Such a fun pincushion! Love it!
