Tutorial: CD and CQ pincushion

August 18, 2008 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Photo by Lisa BoniLisa Boni of Ivory Blush Roses blog has posted a tutorial that succeeds on so many levels. Most importantly, the result is the gorgeous crazy-quilt pincushion shown here, which is almost too pretty to pierce with pins. But if you decide to use it, you’ll get a lot of mileage out of it: It’s big. The base is the diameter of a CD…because (YES!) the base is made from two recycled CDs. And you’ll have no trouble following along because the clear, thorough tute is abundantly illustrated. See the tutorial, and make one of these beauties for yourself.
