Embroidered Washi Pincushion
I’m swapping again…I know, I cannot seem to help it…this time it’s the Fab Little Pincushion Swap {FLiP}. My secret partner had this pincushion in her favorites. It also reminds me of this quilt, so I thought I’d try my hand at it…in embroidery!
I used a variety of Finca Perle Cotton size 8 {the numbers are: 1889, 1742, 1166, 7636, 1232, 1062, 4812, 3810, 3400, 2615, 2606} and some Moda Crossweave {is this really being discontinued?!}.
It actually reminds me of little strips of washi tape, and I love it! In retrospect, it is probably a good thing I didn’t have time to make my partner a new pincushion, because otherwise I’d have been too tempted to keep this one.
I cut into some Henna Garden for the back {or, actually, cut up my two yards of Henna Garden and am making something else too!}, and it complimented the front well. I’ll admit, I’m kind of sad it’s done already.
And, even though I sent this on Wednesday…I’ve saved the post for today so I join Katie’s Hand Made Parade. You can find it here:
What are you hand stitching these days?
This is the cutest! It reminds me of a shelf full of colorful books. Great stitching!
This is incredibly beautiful! I saw it on the handstitched parade linky.

This is so charming! I love it!
This is very cute! I like how each stitch is highlighted and the rainbow effect you made. 🙂
What a sweet litte pincushion! Anyone would be proud to own it!
Sweeeeet!

I adore this pincushion! How sweet.
I love the bright colors against the grey cross weave. I love the texture. Your stitching is so precise and pretty.

I love this…simple and elegant. Great way to try out different stitches.
This is great – I love all the colors you use in your embroidery projects – I am so happy you share the numbers!

Adorable! Too pretty to poke.
Oh how I LOVE this pincushion! I think I need to make one, actually I KNOW I need to make one!
Thank you for linking up to The Handmade Parade 🙂
I saw this on Pinterest and thought “I bet Jennie made that”. 🙂

I absolutely love this pincushion!!! My goal this summer is to practice embroidery and any hand stitching…this might be the perfect project to try! Love, love, love…
