woodland happiness~ a wall hanging and matching pincushion!

My dresden mini wall hanging is done!! Yippee!! I am loving all the cuteness, with the Heather Ross new gnomies and mushrooms, flea market fancy seedlings, woodland creatures, and lots of polka dots!! All my favorites in one quilt!! This sweet little quilt is going to my swap partner for the Urban Home Goods Swap, but no tears for me cause I have one in the makes for my studio. :)

For the center I used the cute Russian Sweetie embroidery I did earlier this week. My partner also likes Matryoshka dolls so I thought it would be the perfect touch! I sure hope you like it, my sweet partner!! It was sure fun to make, trying to include all your favorites!! For the pattern, I used Oh, Franssons, easy to follow tutorial.

I also stitched up a cute pincushion to match the wall hanging. It is the first pincushion I have done and love how it turned out. They are so simple to make, so I will be making many more! The pincushion was inspired by these cuties.

I just love the gnomes in this color!!


One more thing! My sil, Tasha is having a GIVEAWAY on her blog and it ends tonight! Hop on over and say hi, and enter to have a chance to win $20 in embroidery patterns from her Etsy shop.

Hope you are having a fantastic Friday!!
