A few weeks ago I joined the Modern Irish Quilter's pin cushion swap. This is such a super swap as lots and lots of new-to-me Irish quilters have joined in, so its great fun seeing what everyone is into or planning on making. When making my inspirational mosaic, I found a few cathedral window pin cushions that just mesmerized me. I loved loved loved them. My partner seems to like them as well, so I thought I might give one a try.
I used the tute by Jamie Mueller to make mine. It was well written and easy to follow. She has two variations of her pin cushion, but I choose the most basic and straight forward one. It's my first, after all! I used a cherry red Amy Butler paired with a light blue floral from Sweetest Thing. The window fabric is a simple Kona white.
And voilĂ ! After lots of folding, pressing, folding, pinning and a few bad words my mother wouldn't be proud of I made this!
I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I did struggle putting the little button on the center. It's quite hard to hold it in place, stitch and press to get the little dimple in the center. I originally tried with a smaller button (silly) with four holes in the center. Epic failure. I then found a larger button with only two holes and it worked a treat.
So, partner, I hope you like it! If it is not your thing, I can change it up and make something else. Let me know what you think!

Not your partner but I do like it lots! Does that count!?
Very cute :o) The pressing for those things is a complete b*gger, eh?
Love your fabric choices! It's a beautiful pin cushion.
That's gorgeous! I love cathedral windows but agree with Katy re: pressing!
I made a cushion cover once, just one, never again. I couldn't handle all the pressing! If your partner doesn't like it, I'd take it off your hands!

Uber cute! Well done! Jxo
Send it to me, send it to me!!!
It's so cute. I'm hoping to make my first cathedral window block this week and I just hope it will turn out as lovely as yours.
Gorgeous
It is so beautiful! I made one of these for my first pincushion swap earlier this year :)
Just fab. I keep meaning to try one of those myself.
It's gorgeous! Don't know if I'm your partner, but I'd certainly love to get this!
I love it! I'm probably not your partner though. I'm not Irish and I'm not a member of the Irish QG, damn as I would have loved this pincushion!
LOVE your pincushion and thank you for the kind words about my tutorial!! :)
Just catching up on some blog reading - it is lovely - hope I am your partner :)
It is beautiful in "real life" too! Received it in the post this morning. I absolutely love it :) Thank you!!!!
Very cute! Just checking in because i haven't seen you for awhile! Hope everything's good! :-)
