Two Small Finishes


 I finished the Halloween wall hanging for my future daughter-in-law. I just quilted straight lines in the borders using my regular sewing machine. It measures about 9" square. I added 2" binding and it's done! Her birthday is next month so I'm glad I got it done.


I made this 4" pin cushion using leftover triangles from my table runner. I love making these small items. It's a nice change from the large quilts I usually make. These pin cushions make great gifts!

The weather is just gorgeous! It's not humid anymore. The temperatures are in the high 70's, low 80's. I'll be sitting outside this afternoon for sure!

    3. Thank you! I actually used larger triangles and then cut them down. They were small at that point but it wasn't too bad to work with them.
