These darling strawberry pincushions will keep you charmed until summer actually comes along. The design is from Poppie Cotton, a new quilting cotton company based here in the Vancouver, WA area. The company is the creation of an illustrator and a quilter coming together. Both have previously worked with companies like Moda, Cricut, Martha Stewart and Riley Blake Designs. Their first line, Prarie Sisters is a lovely grouping that has a fresh take on the farmhouse style with a good helping of lovely botanical prints added in.
Supplies:
• Cotton Fabric – could use scraps or a fat quarter
• Green felt
• Embroidery thread
• Ribbon
• Pinking Shears
• PolyFill or Walnut Shells for stuffing
Directions:
- Trace strawberry patterns onto the wrong side of the fabric.
