Bee a {modern} Swapper - Pincushion Swap

I finished up my pincushion!! :)

I added a bit of embroidery to spruce it up.

I feel like it is missing something, and that the white strip in the middle is a little bit too wide. But my embroidery skills are not adequate to add anything that will enhance the overall esthetics. I would only destroy it. lol. :) 

It finished up just shy of 3" x 4". I used some Heather Bailey and Kona Chartreuse along with some Kona neutral? I went out and bought some pearl cotton with a gift card my sister gave me last year. :) I was bummed that Michael's didn't have a bigger variety of size 5, so this is 8, but it works I guess. I love colors and it's hard not to buy every one! Though I resisted, because I know I probably will never use them all. well, maybe.

The piecing was really fun! It took a while to get the design just right, but it works. :) I am really loving working with curves lately!

If you have never sewn curves, you can see my technique here. Working with a pattern is basically the same, just make sure you have your 1/4" SA and you are good to go... everything else is the same. :)

Make sure to come back tomorrow for the beginning of the Cash Envelope Sew Along! :)
