I have always admired something made from cathedral window blocks. It always looked so beautiful but also super complicated. After I have seen this pin cushion and learned how easy it actually is, I thought I should give it a try.
I made a pin cushion for myself from my scraps following this tutorial which is free, you should try it out!
I have always wanted a pin cushion and that was just a perfect way to try the cathedral window block.
Turns out it isn't complicated at all, just following some simple steps and there's a lot of ironing involved.
It took me a long time to find a nice button, but I'm happy with the red one with the carvings on it.
So, next thing to try is a pillow made from cathedral windows, I'm not afraid anymore!!

So pretty! I've been wanting to try this too :)
ReplyDeleteYou should, Christine, it really is not complicated and actually a lot of fun!
DeleteOh yay!!! Totally cute! Love your colors!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, you inspired me in the first place to make one!!
DeleteCute as a botton! What did you fill it with? Love your colors too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny. I filled it with material you also stuff into teddy bears, I think it's called 'Poly-fil Stuffing' in English.
DeleteI love it! You did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteSo pretty! I love the combination of aqua and red.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's my favourite colour combination at the moment!
DeleteI have been looking at this block for a while and have been wanting to make one, I will have to give it a try! Yours is beautiful and I do love the red button.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, Heide! I was very picky with the button, I have at least 4 other buttons at home which I didn't use in the end!
DeleteIt's gorgeous! And cathedral windows are so complicated looking, I'll have to remember that tutorial and give it a whirl in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I was scared too, but really, it's not that complicated!
DeleteSuch a cute pin cushion. Love the colour combination. Visiting from FIUF.
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices and the button is perfect! That really seemed to be the most difficult part of making it for me :o) Thank you so much for the shout out, I really appreciate it! Kim
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim! The button is such a focal point, it just has to be right!
