Quilt Piece Pincushions

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
I went shopping at some great vintage markets, spent some time outdoors, watched some basketball and worked on some fun projects.

Today I decided to dust off my old sewing machine and work on a sewing project.

I've had these cutter quilt pieces for a few months now. 

  I love the random selection of fabrics and the hand-pieced work that someone put into these quilts years ago.

There is quite a bit of wear on these pieces so I decided to use some of the better sections of the quilt and make some pincushions.

These are very simple to make and go together quickly.  

No pattern needed for these.  I used a bowl to trace two circles, a sewing machine to machine stitch the two pieces together, some fiberfill to stuff each pincushion, some embroidery thread to define the wedge shapes and a button for the middle.

I made several to display in a bowl (I'll use them for pincushions later).

I love the bright colors.....they just say spring to me.

You can see some of the wear of the fabrics in these little pincushions but I think that just adds to their charm.

Here are some of the fun parties I'm linking to:

Metamorphosis Monday with Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch

Masterpiece Monday with Mary @ Boogieboard Cottage

Amaze Me Monday with Carrie @ Dittle Dattle

Motivate Me Monday with Kaysi @ Keeping It Simple

Have a great week.
