Flower Pin Cushion

This was a freebie at a needlework event several years ago. The title is Pretty Little Maids by Summer House Stitche Workes. I really like the colors of it, so I thought I would stitch it up.

The fabric came with the kit, and was directed to be used for background fabric, but, I thought that it was way to pretty to hide on the back, so I pieced around the stitching. The yellow velvet band was also included, as well as the buttons. I used some of the left over teal color to attach the buttons. I just love the way that it turned out.

The only difficulty I had was that the velvet started to completely unravel as I was finishing stitching it on. I was afraid to reposition it in case it started to unravel more. It is only on one side. Maybe at another time, I'll try to reposition it if I'm feeling brave!
