Today was with my Monday APATCHE quilters of Gisborne.
We are only a small group but a great group of friends....
This is what I did..

| Star Fruit pin cushion |
Sewed a Star Fruit Pin Cushion..... Sue from kiwikidspage has made quite a few and I was interested in finding out how they went together. I found a tutorial by Claire STAR FRUIT CUSHION TUTORIAL....
It was really easy to follow. Once you got into it a bit the cushion went together well. When I was putting the filling in I also added dried lavender. When it is handled it will release a beautiful scent. Now I know how to make them I probably won't make any more unless I need something for a gift..
