Jill planned a little project for us. Pie pin cushions - so cute!
**added on Friday: Pattern Credit should have been given to "Chitter Chatter Designs". Here is their website if you are interested in the pattern: Chitter Chatter
First step was to make circle that would fit our little tins. We made lattice topping with pre-sew strips.
Look at this handsome devil! It's Jill's new Golden-doodle, Carson. He is such a good boy and so friendly.
How luscious to sew on the porch. Here is susan doing a little machine work, so serious, lol.
I love this photo of us all doing our thing - I wish I could remember what was so funny!
Lunch break-
What a lovely simple lunch for a hot day - thanks again, Jill! Best pasta salad - ever.
Here are my watermelon decorated cupcakes on Jill's super cute cake stand. She has a wonderful collection of these. I just used colored frosting and mini-chocolate chips.
We made little muslin pouches to hold the walnut shells. You can see Jill cinching up hers. Before stuffing, we added a little gathered flute of fabric to represent crust.
Susan getting some serious Carson love -
Here is our best Country Living pose -
Just for fun - I picked this up at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
He is a "hub man". So now I can keep the ipod and both camera USBs plugged in. Look how happy he is to be helping me :)
I hope you have a fun day!

You guys are having way too much fun!
Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you had some fun! Sewing on a screened porch, aaahh.
Sweet little pies; you should send that pic in to Country Living!
The pie cushions and your cupcakes are cute as can be, but I'm even more envious of the opportunity to sew on that screened porch. What a perfect day that must have been.
Sewing with friends -- priceless!
Love the pin cushions and the cupcakes...YUM! You guys always look like you are having such a good time together. That looks like a fantastic place to sew!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Those are the cutest pin cushions! Love the idea...
Loved the post about our wonderful sewing day. Carson is a big galoof and he really did enjoy his sewing day on the porch with the ladies...lol.

I CAN'T wait to catch up. lol
Well, #1: I don't blog anymore. lol

I.e, for me, : buy tickets at 4Pm and fly out at 6 a.m.....
Then, tell everyone when you get there! lol
Loved catching up!!!! so envious!

Life is good. XO
isn't it?!?!?! :)
Ah, sewing outside--one of the best things about summer. Your little pies are adorable!!
You guys always make some fun things when you get together. I was lucky enough to win one of those pie pincushions way back, yours all look great!
Love Jill's dog, he's gorgeous.
I love your pincushions. Any chance of a little tutorial?
You Cupcakers sure have a lot of fun when you get together...and you eat very well too :0)
Crispy
Sewing, lunch and friendship..nothing better!
Sounds like a fun project to do with friends. Ahhh! I see that bag of walnut litter - probably a better deal than the small bag of crushed shells I bought at a quilt shop.
Carson is quite handsome. Goldendoodles are great dogs - intelligence of the poodle combined with the friendliness of the golden retriever. I love mine!
Oh please do write a tutorial on the little pies. I absolutely must make one!
Very cute little pies Barb. It looks like you had a super fun day!
Those little pincushions are just adorable! It looks like you had a wonderful time -- I love sewing days with the peeps. My sister has a golden doodle that looks just like Carson -- aren't they just the cutest dogs?
What a cute little project! You girls always look like you're having a great time together.
Fun food, cute projects, good company, nice environment, and puppy love..what more could anybody ask for? : )
I came back to look again at your lovely photos of the time you shared. I see your BIRDSNEST BOX!!!! So fun to see you using it! :)
What a wonderful project! You've inspired me. Once Again.
Those pie pincushions are adorable!
Now those are fun pin cushions!! The watermelon cup cakes are so pretty I thought they were pin cushions too! Lol. Love the shots of you all sewing, sewing with friends is the best!
