Looking for a sewing pick-me-up? How about a new pincushion. The new Summer 2007 issue of Quilts and More sports a pincushion pattern written by moi. Aren’t they cute? And so simple.
They also did a feature on me. Blush, blush. They asked fun questions, like "What’s on your iPod?" and "What’s your ideal day?" A very comfortable interview.
Yes, there have been all sorts of ‘secret’ projects I haven’t been able to share. So, I’ve got to make a big splash of them once they come out of hiding, like this pattern. Hence, the parade of photos. See, I’ve been doing stuff.
So, go get my little pattern and cover the world in pincushions. They make great presents too.
Ha!
Oh ya: Local folks (Arizona), I’m going to be on TV tomorrow — Sonoran Living. I think it’s on ABC — sometime in the morning. It’ll be live ; )
Congrats on the article!
Those are just adorable!!
I’ll have to pick up that issue later on today 🙂
So beautiful, as usual! Must pick up a copy!
I’ll have to go find me a copy. Those are adorable.
I already have the magazine and my sister and I can’t wait to try it out! I love how happy everything is!
Those little pincushions are fabulous! Congrats on the interview!
Heather, you constantly inspire me. That is wonderful news on the article. And the pin cushions are adorable. Yeah, I’ll be making a few of those for my quilting buddies.
Hi Heather! The pincushions are adorable! Can’t wait to go and pick up a copy of that magazine. Do you think you could put a link to all your press on your blog? I can’t keep up with it all!
woohoo!
Ohhh I know two people in that magazine, you and Monica! Woohoo! Congrats they’re darling.
Oh Heather, our hometown girl makes us sooo proud!
You inspire the heck out of me!
love those pincushions! and congrats on the feature – can’t wait to read it.
Heather! I was at the bookstore last week and saw this Magazine and picked it up! Love these little pincushions. They are soo cute! Fun article. Laurie~
My hubby saw the magazine yesterday and asked me if I could scale up the pincushions to make pillows. They are so cute!
Ooooooo super cute!
Thats my fav quilting magazine! I love it. Everytime I see your fabric (or Anna Maria’s) published in an article or something I get this wierd proud feeling- isnt that funny? Maybe from all the readng? lol. Anyway=
Congrats Heather.hey’re beautiful.
I already said this on flickr, but I really do love that they’re square…weird of me, huh?
Those are so adorable – I’m totally picking up this magazine tomorrow. Your fabrics are so gorgeous *sigh*
Awesome! I had a start there when I saw your post today since I just saw the cover on Monica’s blog! That’s so cool! Now I have double the reason to get that issue. The pincushions are super-cute and I can’t wait to try them. Meanwhile, I think the idea of having all the press in one place is awesome! If you do that, let us all know!
Adorable! I love the ribbon detailing.
How thrilled I was to find out little ole moi was sharing pages with you! Color me giddy! Fab, fab, fab article Heather and your photography gracing the pages is BEAUTIFUL (as are all the photos on your blog too!).
eep!! they’re so cute. congrats to you. adorable pattern, lovely fabrics. sew sweet!
so, so cute!
Usually a lurker. Come by and check out my blog and join my first contest ever! lol. I have very few entries, at this point.
I *KNEW* I should have picked that one up when I saw it on Saturday. Hmnnph. Ok, back to the quilt store tomorrow (oh no, don’t make me go in there said breir rabbit!). Now, if their order of Fresh Cut would just come in…patience is not known to be my name.
wowza! congratulations on the article — great photographs and adorable pin cushions (of course!)
Congratulations!
I love that magazine and just made a bunch of stuff from the Spring Issue. I’m also really into pincushions at the moment, so I’m definitely picking up a copy.
I really love your fabrics, and everything you do is so so pretty.
Sometimes I hate to live in Spain, so i can’t buy this magazine, and i’m looking where to buy your fabrics.
The photos are wonderful too.
Kisses from Spain
Love those! I’m going out to get the magazine today!
Sweet! Adorable project and yes, those would be fab gifts – I think I might just have to make a special trip to B&N today.
I wish I could see you on T.V. but I live in Michigan. You’ll have to tell us all about it – how exciting!
I bought a copy of Quilts and More on Saturday and was so excited to see both the interview and the pincushion project. I think you have so much talent –even your photos are published! One of my local quilt shops got in some of your fabric– I bought some of each, of course–and I let them know how great it was that they had Heather’s fabric (and about time too). Congratulations on all your acomplishments!
Your fabric is featured by name too, in Adorn Magazine.
i was thumbing through the magazine the other day at the bookstore and there you were! the interview was fantastic. your ideal day…i concure!
Wow – that is greate.
The pattern is perfect for the leftover fabrics. I have still not made my daughters dress, but when I have I could make some of those pincushions.
Gotta run out and get that mag! I received my half yard cuts of FreshCut yesterday – only 24 of them, but they are the yummiest!
Heather, your Pincushions (cute as!) made me think of some early sewing memories…
My first sewing projects were pincushions and lavender bags….. the early ones hand-sewn with huuuge stitches…… Before long I was making them on Mum’s Pfaff, and I even made one on my Grandmother’s pedal-powered Singer…… When I ressurected it recently, (to apply a little TLC and restore to working order) the pincushion was still tied on! Bless!
Thanks for making me think of that!

Yeah baby! I’m running to get my copy! I LOVE your blog Heather, thanks for sharing all that you do.

Those are the cutest ever pin cushions! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Absolutely darling pin cushions!
Yay for the cool interview!
Those are so sweet and beautiful. I want to have one big enough to use as a piece of furniture. Love the colors! Good for you.
Ooooh Heather! You did so so good on the show! The camera was loving on that piggy!
You can probably watch the show tomorrow as they have yesterday’s show online!!!

I just bought that magazine, and imagine my surprise when I saw the feature about you! How exciting!!! Way to go Heather!
Congratulations on the fabulous magazine article (those pincushions are so so so cute) and super duper congratulations on the tv spot! Hugs!
Great article and project in Summer 2007! They also feature your fabric in their apron project in Spring 2007. (Shameless commerce plug- we’ve got both magazines on our site for $2, so get your Heather fix!)
Congrats on all the FreshCut sitings!
Oh boy. I have a weak spot for pin cushions!!!
Oh! I love them. I wonder if that magazine is available in Australia…will have to search.
Congratulations on the article!! Wonderful photographs and Sweet pin cushions (need to find the mag) 🙂 I use your fabrics all the time and love them.
Congrats on the mag article & the show!
Oh these are so pretty. I am headed out to get a copy. Your work is so happy and awe inspiring!
Oh!
I was just at Joann’s today & missed picking up this issue.
I’m going back there tomorrow as I need something to read on our flight Thursday morning.
Congratulations, Heather!
I’m a big fan of your work. 🙂
A question: Anyone knows of a store that ships the mazagine internationally? I always use ebay but the magazine is not there. Thank you.
How exciting! Love the little pin cushions!
You DO have pin cushion pizazz! Way to go. Great tv segment. Lets talk soon.

I just bought the magazine JUST for your pincushion pattern. I HAD to have it.
LOVE it – Have a million projects in the works, but I’m starting this one as soon as I get back from vacation!
Keep the good stuff coming – if you can get a pattern for those adorable baby diapers – that would be awesome! They were gorgeous! (And I don’t even have a baby!!!)

I love the pin cushions. I don’t even quilt, but your fabric has made me want to learn. I bought my first quilt magazine this weekend and it was this one with your free pin cushion pattern. Thanks Heather
From another Heather in Alabama

Your pincushions are very cute !! I love them ! It’s a pity, I live in France and can’t find this magazine. Your fabrics are gorgeous too, congratulations !
Just beutifull! Feels like eating!
I have looked all over for this magazine and can NOT fid it! Those are the cutest pin cushions ever, I really wanted to make some. Do you know where I can definitely find them? Thanks! melissapaige_ou@yahoo.com is my email addy.
These pincushions are great, but I live in the uk and can’t get hold of the magazine. Does anyone know who does mail order to the uk and has it in stock?
thanks
Help!!! Can’t find the magazine in Toronto and would love to have a copy of the pincushion pattern.
Any ideas???
Hi Heather, I would love to make these but living in Australia I can’t get the magazine anywhere! Any chance you could share the pattern in another way? Thanks!
I am just now seeing this adorable pincushion and want to purchase the magazine. Unfortunatley, it seems to be sold out. Is there anyone willing to copy the magazine pages for me? I’m happy to reimburse your expenses.
Thanks!
I found the magazine online, if anyone is interested. http://www.reproductionfabrics.com/lines.php?subcat=28
you will have to scroll down a bit to get to the summer issue…..
Is there anywhere we can get the pincushion pattern??? The link above does not have any more of that magazine issue. Can you publish the pattern on your site now Heather??
i have just found youre web site i think its great keep up the good work. lorraine
Oh my gosh. I was just wandering around the blog world and found yours. I bought this issue way back when just because I thought those pin cushions were so darn cute. Made one to match my laundry room for all of the pins they put in new shirt and one to match my sewing room. So much fun. Thanks.
Such a great one, looking forward for more regarding this.
