Little Grandbaby Granny Star Pincushion Has Arrived

I can only imagine how exciting it is,
waiting for new grandbabies to arrive!
Just this afternoon,
part 3 of my guest posts at Bear Creek Quilting Company.


Allow me to introduce the


Now, if this pinnie were a baby,
it would definitely weigh in at over 10 lbs.
The finished size is 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 1 1/2" or so.


I love bigger pincushions, myself.
They don't get lost as easily amid my sewing stuff.


There are lots of pieces to the granny star block,
and those star points are pretty tiny.

where you will find a method to create
near-perfect star points...so easily!


I hope you'll be inspired to try out one or more
of my Granny Star methods...

  2. This is the cutest little grandbaby I have seen - to date! It is exciting waiting for a new arrival but also frustrating if they turn up late.

  3. Just read your wonderful tutorial at Bear Creek. It's so clever how you folded your star points Amy! I really love this pincushion! And the larger size is a good thing, I agree!

  5. I am rather fond of collecting and making pincushions. My fav one is a large round hexi one I found in an Op Shop. Larger ones are better for general use. Love yours.
