During the great lucky streak of '09, I picked up this gorgeous pin cushion from a give-away over at Ivory Blush Roses. I love it & use it all the time... it's a great size & the colours remind me of a grassy knoll. So cute!
She has a great tutorial on how to make your own pincushions, using CDs as bases! I love the fact that old CDs have been used in this piece, and have a secret urge to peek inside and see what CDs are in there.
I first stumbled upon Ivory Blush Roses through her crazy quilting.

This jellyfish, in particular, tickled my fancy!

I like the chocolate creams in this piece too. There are many many more examples of crazy-quilted blocks over on her site.
Other lovely photographs from her site include:
Yarn that looks good enough to eat, and...
