This English paper piecing kit to make this sweet little pincushion was given to us at the Red Rooster Spring Retreat. I had a few minutes to relax today and made it up. It was really fun to make. I lined it with batting and filled it with rice. All done...
This is the dresden block that I finally completed. Fun, fun project and I really enjoyed making it. Now the dilema--Do I make it into a pillow? Do I add wool to the background and make it a doily? or...Do I frame it? My faithful followers, I need some input...what would you do?

Oh I would make it into a beautiful wall hanging. Either a quilt to hang or framed. My friend takes old dresden pates and quilts them into small quilts and they are wonderful.
What about a Dresden pincushion?
Now I'm excited to make that pincushion! That is so cute. As you know, I'm going to frame my dresden plate block :)
I think you need to add wool to it and make it a doily and give it to me.
Mary ~ I think it would be gorgeous with wool and framed. You've done a beautiful job!
Good job Mary! How fun to see a project finished so quickly! I enjoyed the class and hope that you had fun too.
