Fair & Square finishes

I bought myself a new sewing machine just a few weeks ago and finally started turning my received Fair& Square pieces into finished objects. I've decided to finish them all into little pin cushions and display them together with my ostrich egg in a big basket. This basket is centered on my living room coffee table. It makes me smile every time when I pass by that basket and remember all those great exchanges I had (and still have) in this group.

Here are pictures of each single pillow (only the front with the main square, the squares with the names are on the back of each pillow, you can see those on my blog)

from Gillie - this was my very first exchange

from Kathy in 2009 - I had my bicycle stolen that summer, so Kathy decided to stitch a bicycle for me. This exchange was very special too me.

Round 27 from Milly D.

Here are the squares I received from Milly D. Aren't the beautiful? I love everything about them. The design is called "The Three Emblems" from Papillon Creations and the colour is a beautiful antique blue.

Thank you so much Milly.
