Our group has decided to make a pin cushion for our Kris Kringle this year. We have found that if there is a pattern supplied we get more people take part. We got permission from Sue to share the pattern which is always the right thing to do.
The piecing has begun. I decided to make 2 at the same time because I really like the pattern.
And the buttons are on.
I am a midwife at Mildura Base Hospital, and one of my responsibilities is caring for mothers and their partners who have suffered a stillbirth.
In attempting to create a less clinical and more caring space for these families, I was wondering if your group would be interested in making and donating a quilt for the birthing bed.
We would be looking at a king single size with a butterfly motif, which is the symbol of pregnancy loss.
Purple is the colour for midwifery. Muted hues would be most suitable. ******

Oh my gosh! When our little group decided to interpret six in something I made a cube pin cushion! I used spare blocks for each side.
Those pincushion look great.
The first butterfly pattern for the special quilt is lovely.
Nice work on the pincushions. I like how there is "storage" on the sides.
Very clever pincushion. I like your fabrics. They look very cheerful and fun.
The butterfly blocks are a lovely idea. Wish I could make blocks for you, but I am way behind on quilting commitments, and finding very little time to sew.
I agree - give everyone a pattern and people do it - it's a great idea.
Butterflies...purples...etc...mmm...is this an ongoing thing? I would be happy to help out -but a bit over-committed if it's a short-term thing...
Hi Jo. The pincushions are fun. I hope lots of members join in. Yep, I’ll make a butterfly and send it down. That sounds like such a nice thing to do. Now to find a suitable pattern.
Hi Jo, I love the pincushion, with the buttoned idea for thread. I'll have to look that one up! If you are still after butterfly blocks, I can make one, but not till later in October - let me know if I can be of help :-)
Great pincushions Jo, the butterfly quilt sounds wonderful, I too am a bit committed at present but could help later if that is of any use to you?
