My First Pincushion Swap

I have to admit, not only is this my first pincushion swap, it's my first swap ever.

Beaquilter called for people to join her swap and I jumped in with a "yes."

All I have to do is swap three pincushions with three different people.

And then I panicked. What the heck am I doing in a pincushion swap!

I started freaking out that the first recipient, Holly, wouldn't like what I made.

Maybe it wouldn't be good enough. Yikes! 

I then I calmed down and said to myself, "GET OVER IT!"

Sometimes I have to step out of my comfort zone, so I did.

Holly likes Tim Holtz fabrics and a little steampunk...

I survived my first swap...whew!

Now two more to go. I'll be fine. I think. Maybe. LOL

Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cottons In Steampunk Bird

I had a bit of fun with Steampunk using Riley Blake Designs' Confetti Cottons.

This rolling bird is made totally with Confetti Cottons!
The solid colors were easy to incorporate into this design.

"Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cottons solid fabric is a premium quilting cotton that has a soft

 hand. Use it in your traditional or modern quilts, or on their own for a contemporary quilt style."

Steampunk Rolling Bird
Measures 42" x 52"

So many gorgeous Confetti Cotton fabrics went into this rolling bird!

A few of the beautiful colors I used:

Confetti Cottons Daffodil

Confetti Cottons Crayola Brussel Sproutlet

Confetti Cottons Beach

Confetti Cottons Crayola Cast Iron

Confetti Cottons Crayola Inchworm

Confetti Cottons Crayola Right-On-Red

The variety of colors seems endless...you'll love them!

You can find the pattern for Steampunk Rolling Bird in my Etsy Store HERE.

One of my favorite products for making my applique quilts is
Heat n Bond's EZ Print Lite Sheets. Just run the applique designs through an
inkjet printer and they are ready to iron to your fabrics. So easy!

Thanks for stopping by!
