I was so excited when I heard about the "pincushion challenge". What better way to use up some felt scraps lying around!
The July theme word was "flower" and I decided to do a cactus flower since we live in the desert.
Above is the 'glamour shot' I took of it when I finished it last month.
This is what it looks like now...
Yikes! I know, it's a mess. But I have found through these tight deadlines I'm working on now that a major time saver is using multiple needles. You can't imagine how much time I would spend threading and rethreading with one needle. What was I thinking??
I'm still buried under felt , finishing up 2 educational books. Deadline is Aug 7th so I best get back to it if I want to finish in time!
I'm not a cactus kind of girl but now that one is very cute!!

It's so pretty. And I actually like the "messy" shot better than the "glamour" shot! It looks very festive. ;-)
