Comments on: Packing http://www.annettesacre.com/?p=307 Stitching, knitting, reading, life...whatever catches my eye Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:31:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jenna http://www.annettesacre.com/?p=307&cpage=1#comment-1848 Jenna Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:41:26 +0000 http://www.annettesacre.com/?p=307#comment-1848 I've done one of the pagoda pincushions and it turned out beautifully. I'm working on a second one now, so I recognized it right away in your photo. My advice on the finishing is to not be too aggressive in your stuffing. I tend to really stuff mine very full and the whipstitches starting pulling big holes in the fabric, so if you have a tendency to stuff firmly, too, just be aware. Hope you're having fun and that your presentation went well yesterday! I’ve done one of the pagoda pincushions and it turned out beautifully.

Liked that series quite a bit. :D Pear Tree looks fab. I'd forgotten about that Pagoda - may have to give it a look myself! Throne of Jade is the only one of that lot I’ve read.

Pear Tree looks fab. I’d forgotten about that Pagoda – may have to give it a look myself!

For bathtub reading I'd have to go with Sunshine. But I love the crap out of Nightlife. I started before They Are Hanged IIRC - I couldn't get into it. Pear tree finished up so pretty & I really like your colorway for the Pagoda. Tough call! For bathtub reading I’d have to go with Sunshine. But I love the crap out of Nightlife.
