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 :)

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!
Posted by: Tina | May 14, 2007 at 03:49 PM

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~
Posted by: Laurie | May 14, 2007 at 04:36 PM
My hubby saw the magazine yesterday and asked me if I could scale up the pincushions to make pillows. They are so cute!
Posted by: Mary | May 14, 2007 at 04:47 PM
Ooooooo super cute!
Posted by: Jesseca | May 14, 2007 at 04:51 PM
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.
Posted by: Stephanie | May 14, 2007 at 04:51 PM
I already said this on flickr, but I really do love that they're square...weird of me, huh?
Posted by: moki | May 14, 2007 at 04:52 PM
Those are so adorable - I'm totally picking up this magazine tomorrow. Your fabrics are so gorgeous *sigh*
Posted by: Candace | May 14, 2007 at 04:52 PM
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!
Posted by: Cottage Magpie | May 14, 2007 at 05:06 PM
Adorable! I love the ribbon detailing.
Posted by: Ashley | May 14, 2007 at 05:09 PM

Posted by: Niki | May 14, 2007 at 08:07 PM
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.
Posted by: Angela | May 14, 2007 at 08:16 PM
wowza! congratulations on the article -- great photographs and adorable pin cushions (of course!)
Posted by: laurie | May 14, 2007 at 08:48 PM
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.
Posted by: Anina | May 14, 2007 at 09:16 PM
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
Posted by: Victoria | May 15, 2007 at 02:10 AM
Love those! I'm going out to get the magazine today!
Posted by: Katie Greenwood | May 15, 2007 at 03:45 AM
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!
Posted by: Jill | May 15, 2007 at 04:25 AM
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!
Posted by: Joan Gibb | May 15, 2007 at 04:50 AM
Your fabric is featured by name too, in Adorn Magazine.
Posted by: Tara | May 15, 2007 at 05:04 AM
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!
Posted by: Sarah Moyar | May 15, 2007 at 05:07 AM
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.
Posted by: Knittacia | May 15, 2007 at 06:08 AM
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!
Posted by: Angelia | May 15, 2007 at 06:19 AM
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!

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!!!
Posted by: Lei | May 15, 2007 at 01:38 PM
Oh! I love them. I wonder if that magazine is available in Australia...will have to search.
Posted by: Georgia | May 15, 2007 at 03:26 PM
