chicken pin cushion

It's my first attempt at making log cabin blocks.
The making of this pin cushion, which needs only two log cabin blocks, is easier than it looked.
I used the scraps from previous sewing projects.
I think the color is interesting after they're all bound together.
There is no wulnut shells in Taiwan, I suppose.
So I used red beans to create some weight.
This hen cushion will go a long way along my sewing table.





One reason that quilting appeals to me is the moment when
I turn the fabrics right sides out, I see the perfect
look on the outside...the "ah-ha" moment transforms
previous mechanical works into sheer delight.

I applied some machine sewing techniques that I learned on Quilter's TV.
Literally I think watching the programs is better than going to sewing classes!
I'm really happy to learn abuot the site.
這是用兩塊小木屋拼布所組成的粽子體針插
作法很簡單,我用的size是1.5cm*(1.5*1)cm到1.5cm*(1.5*7)cm
以上不含縫份
之後每塊小木屋需要1.5cm*(1.5*1)cm到1.5cm*(1.5*6)cm各兩塊,
1.5cm*(1.5*7)cm一塊
顏色需要調整一下 基本上是一邊深 一邊淺 或不同色系
我用的是手邊的碎布 因此很配色很隨興
如果能更單純化 效果應該會更好

做完兩塊小木屋之後 就夾上嘴巴和雞冠 留一個返口
還有夾雞冠的那一邊垂直(沒有夾嘴巴)的一邊 壓扁使兩端變成中間點
再車夾上三角形的尾巴 從返口翻出來之後
塞入豆子和棉花 使有一定的重量 以對針縫縫合返口 就行囉!

因為我是第一次做 沒有心情和時間照相
之後如果有再作第二隻 再放製作過程照片
