Thanks for joining Gina K's Design Team today for our monthly hop! Our theme is SEWING, where along the way you will find a variety of sewing techniques from hand sewing to faux sewing and lots of inspiration! If you are here after visiting Deb Felt’s blog, then you are in the right place but if not, please start at Gina K’s blog so you don’t miss any inspiration along the way!!
I couldn’t have been more thrilled about this month’s theme because I have been occupying a big chunk of my time with sewing and thoughts of sewing! Since I brought my sewing machine out of storage and got it services, I have been perusing many inspirational blogs out there gathering tons of ideas, going fabric shopping, making projects and planning more! One of the things I’ve wanted to do lately was replace my extremely dated 
pin cushion (see picture at left, you know the one!) So I made a cute one out of a tuna can following this tutorial with a few tweaks! I wanted to have a little weight to my tuna can so it didn’t easily move from my work surface,
I also wanted to add some ribbon and a button to the cushion area since I kept the can a blank chocolate spray paint canvas (John said it looks like a cupcake!)
For my card, I used Nana’s Needlework and made a paper-pieced quilt! It’s so fun that I actually ‘get’ how a quilt comes together since I am taking an on-line quilt class! I also used the 
Now you’re headed to Emily’s blog to continue on with the Sew Fun inspiration!

How fabulous, Donna!!
Beautiful work Donna. Your updated pin cushion is too cute.
This is fantastic! Love all the elements of both projects!
Wow, Donna! you are a crafty diva. . .seriously! I have some money saved away to buy myself a sewing machine. You are totally inspiring me to take the plunge. I found out if I buy it from JoAnn's, I have free unlimited sewing classes for life as long as I save my receipt.
Anyway, I love your pin cushion. I am always amazed with people who can read a tutorial and have an awesome project at the end. I am not one of those people. High five girlfriend!
