It has been far too hot this week to work in my sewing room as it doesn’t have air conditioning. Perth is having the hottest and driest summer on record, and with the hot days expected to continue for at least the next week, it may be a while before I start on any big sewing projects. Last night I decided to do a little bit of appliqué in front of the TV (in air conditioned comfort).
I love my new pincushion. The little toadstool ribbon finished it off perfectly.

Lovely, lovely applique. The heat is horrible isn’t it – I have stopped checking the forecast.
Christy says

Lovely lovely pincushion, it is adorable! Too right about the weather, we’ve had enough now. I just checked outside under the shade and it is 44C out here in the country!!! Time to spray the chooks with the hose again. Hugs, Anita.

That’s really nice!
Over here in Germany, a record winter is coming to an end. We had so much snow this year … Everyone is so looking forward to spring now!

Hope you get some relief from the high temps soon – cool cushion – and I might also add that your camera must be very good – great shots! Now the click on that toadstool link!!
Terriaw says
Your pincushion is adorable! I love the bright colors and the cheerful applique. I do love to work on applique when it’s too hot to be cooped up in a non-air conditioned space too, so I can relate to that feeling.
Anne Heidi says
Such a cute pin cushion!
Julie says
Such a pretty thing!
Nicky says
Love your blog and all your Japanese photos! I am mesmerised by the japanese craft books but have been too timid to get one – i wonder if you have any particular favourites and why??

The little ribbon just finishes it off beautifully. We have been watching the weather over your way, some warm days still to come!

The Wittering Knitter says
The toadstool ribbon is very sweet. It seems strange to hear how hot it is there when we’ve been experiencing highs of about 5 degrees celsius the last few days. At least spring is springing here so hopefully we’ll borrow some of your warmer weather soon 🙂 x

Oh what a sweet little pincushion. Applique is one of my favorite types of quilting. That cushion is almost too cute to poke with pins.

Very nice applique! I’m lucky I have air con in my sewing room! (Just rubbing it in) In fact mine is the only room with air con in the house! Easy to justify when it’s the home business room.
