Sweetie Pie!


 Hello Sweetie Pie!

I haven't been blogging but I've been sewing. One of the things I did was the little hand sewn felt
Pie Pin Cushions above. Hee hee!

Right up my alley, pin cushion/whimsy/colorful

The one on the left is red sparkles with hand dyed thread embroidery. It's sort of an outline stitch with french knots and lazy daisies.
 This one is my favorite, can't find it anymore, bright pink speckled felt. I used the pattern from (sewmamasew) and it's easy to make.
 Check out the crust fabric. Again, embossed and fabulous and can't buy it any more. Is it any wonder why I hoard fabric??? Buy it when you see it as it'll disappear without warning.
 The only thing I did differently ( since I used the templates and didn't look at the instructions, take that with a grain of salt) was to cut a pie wedge out of plastic (yogurt lid) to give the bottom structure and make sure it sits flat. I filled with those evil little plastic beads and stuffing.

I'm in love with the whipped cream!
Okay, to my followers and regular readers... Out of love and appreciation at this time of giving, if you want a slice of pie, leave a comment telling me your favorite pie filling or your favorite color, make sure I can locate you if you win, and I'll send you a piece for Christmas!! Love you!
LeeAnna
Drawing for the winner will be this weekend, which gives my followers time to find out!
**UPDATE** A winner was chosen at random and it's Sylvia! Congrats Sylvia, I am making your chocolate pie now! Send your address. For the rest of you, there will be another drawing on a new present this week. Y'all come back again!LeeAnna

Those are so sweet and the crust is my favorite! My favorite is Boysenberry which is a cross of raspberry and blackberry.

Ann said...

LeAnna,these slices of pie are heavenly! And such lovely fabrics. I working on a project and have the tiniest bit of good felt left. I had to buy some seriously substandard stuff to finish. Must keep looking!

Mmmm. Pie. These are adorable, and I bet they're fun to make! It's not so much a filling, as there is no top crust, but my husband makes an amazing Kentucky Fudge Pie. Only makes it twice a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love it with a dollop of whipped cream.

Those are so cute! Cherry is my favourite. :)

Norma Schlager said...

These are sooo cute! Hard to pick a favorite pie, but probably pumpkin.

Gwyned Trefethen said...

What a fun, whimsical, colorful idea. So very you! Pecan wins as a favorite pie, but if I should be lucky enough to get a pincushion, grasshopper pie wins the color combo.

Claire said...

Rhubarb!

Kaja said...

Hope you're feeling better now. You are definitely the queen of pincushions, LeeAnna! You guys in the US have loads of pies I've never tried, looking at the comments, but I'd still have to go apple.

Joanne said...

These pincushions look so good!
What fun!
Take care,
Joanne
