pin blossom

tracing the template onto fabric

 I've had this little pin cushion tagged to make for, um, quite awhile.  It was originally published in the May/June 1997 issue of Quiltmaker magazine.  The  pattern can be found online at  quiltermaker.com.  I sewed it by hand.   If I were to make this again I would probably get out my sewing machine - my hand sewn seems looked very wonky after I stuffed the thing.

6 sets of petal units (3 pieces of fabric each)
