Even though it is now the end of August, I've just finished my entry for the June Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2014. 
I'd forgotten that I had made this block in blue and white, originally thinking it would be for my daughter's wedding. But then I decided to make the all white pincushion and do blue embroidery on it for that. So this block was still here to be worked on.
I didn't want to do another blue and white pincushion so soon after the last, so I decided to do blue and yellow instead. There were a lot of seams for this pincushion so I thought I'd share what it looked like before I shaped it into the pincushion.
In some of the sewing stuff I kept of my Mom's, I found the tiny yellow rick rack. Perfect for this pincushion! I also stitched some cast on flowers and played with oyster stitch.
Beaded lazy daisy's and some flower sequins embellish this seam.
Another view of more seams.
I also played with a beaded outline stitch on this pincushion. On the right you can see a buttonhole stitched cabled chain ~ a stitch I just love!
Some time ago, I purchased a good length of this wonderful blue silk ribbon. Perfect to make some morning glories to top this pincushion!
It's a lovely pincushion and I think it is my favorite of all that I've done so far!
The morning glories were inspired by the ones blooming in my garden right now!

Another beauty - altho not my fave, I love the pink and green one - but a gorgeous color combo and your lovely little stitches are great.
You'll have to shoot a group shot of the entire year when it's over.
Your pincushions are my all time favorite especially because I happen to be one of the grateful recipiants of one a few years ago. I love it!!!!
This is just beautiful. I love the different stitches you use. I am going to need to look up that "oyster stitch".
You inspire me Lisa! Your pincushion is so pretty! I love all of your stitches and the morning glories are 'wonderful'.
Have a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
Gorgeous
Truly lovely...Your talent just amazes me.
Beautiful!!!
Lisa I love looking at your creations! I am so grateful to have one of your pincushions, and every time I look at it, it brings back such warm fuzzy feelings.
Oh my goodness Lisa, you do such beautiful stitching. Although I loved watching the progress you made on your lovely little house, I am so glad you have started back to stitching more. You inspire me so. Everything is soooo beautiful.

The ribbon morning glories are amazing. I love that you've captued the one that is just ready to unfurl. The bit of yellow I have never seen from you, but it is a happy touch that says "summer" but just the right amount.
