Fresh picked!

I'm still catching up with my Shabby Fabrics Pincushion Club offerings. In April, they sent a super cute kit that included the "Picked Daily" pattern from Susie C. Shore Designs and enough fabric to make three pincushions.

These were quick and easy, so I made all three! Nothing tricky with these at all-- the pattern was clear and straightforward. Though it instructs you to use a glue gun at a couple of points (which I did), the project is definitely do-able without any special tools. A needle and thread would work just as well as glue (though it would go more slowly).

The kit only included what was needed for three regular pincushions. But since I had the additional supplies (a bit of elastic and a 2-1/2" strip of fabric) in my stash, I went ahead and turned one of the flowers into a wrist pincushion.

If you're interested, I noticed that Shabby Fabrics still has some kits available.
