A New Design Completed...
July 10, 2009
Well it's been stitching stitching stitching here at the moment! I have been loving sewing my new 'Pincushions and Doilies' pattern that I have now finished all the stitching for:
I have made each design a pincushion AND a doiley which make a really nice set together or just as individual pieces. I am hoping that this will be a pattern that you'll use again and again. I think a pincushion is a lovely present to receive (and you can never have enough!) not to mention doilies:
I actually managed to sew on one of my treasures to a few of the pincushions, my green glass buttons. I have had these for years too afraid to use them. Now I can really appreciate them:
And my green glass collection will look great with them!:
Doilies are great for any spot I think and I just love somewhere nice to keep my 'everyday' jewellery:
I had a lovely email from a lady suggesting that it would be nice to send one of these doilies in the mail to a friend who's going through a hard time (that she can't be with due to distance) along with a pretty mug and some teabags. How cheered up would you feel to receive that in the mail!?:
So doiles or pincushions or both, the choice will be yours! This pattern will be out in the next week or so but I'll keep you updated and of course, there'll be a giveaway!
Hope you like them,
Leanne Beasley xxx
great man :D

You just have a knack for making the cutest things. I love the yellow pincushion. I have some glass beads. Great way to use them. Then you get to look at them all the time as you are sewing.

Just lovely as usual Leanne. They look so fresh and I love your green glass button. I too have a collection of old buttons and I always hestitate to use them, saving them for goodness knows what!

Leanne these are just beautiful as always. I have been lucky enough to be given some doilies using your "Nundle" pattern as a gift and I love them, just looking at them spread around the room adds smiles. I think I am going to use your pincushion pattern and make some coasters for a gift.
