Quilt Qwazy Queens Blog Hop

It’s time for a crazy blog hop!

When Joan on Mooosestashquilting announced this blog hop I signed up right away- I always love her blog hops and have followed her for years (and she has followed mine) – and who knew that we all NEEDED this funny HOP!!??

and then I forgot all about it….. then an email came in with a schedule and I couldn’t think of anything crazy or funny to make so I had to think about that for a while….. of course I always think of Accuquilt and then it HIT me!!

Accuquilt has this cute Emoji die!!!

It’s a limited die so if you want it, get it NOW!

I only used it once when  I designed this quilt for Accuquilt and then the die got put on the shelf with all my other dies.

My first idea now was to make a pillow and I found a few pillow shapes I had in a bin, but then when I cut out the yellow circles I got another idea!

a pincushion!! (I host a pincushion too so I always look for fun pincushion patterns)

so I set to work, cutting black, light blue and red scraps and prepping them with fusible by the warm company called steam a seam2!

I had a sticky note with how many I needed of each and I laid them all on the die and put it thru my GO big in one pass and cut it all out

to copy my emoji from the quilt I did add two tear drops instead of one, so I played a bit with the layout and tried to account for the seam allowance on the edges

I then removed the paper backing and fused everything down

then I machine appliqued everything down, added a ribbon and sewed the two circles right sides together with an opening at the bottom for stuffing

and I stuffed it with fiber fill

the sad face just looks SO SAD!!!

It was a crazy and fun little thing to do!

Here’s the rest of the participants!

  1. I really love your new pincushions. They make me both laugh and cry. And they will come in handy for the next month’s swap. Can you guess what I made for this hop today?

    Neat pincushion! I like the double-sided aspect–can show your feelings that way. Thanks!

  3. What a fun pinny! It was even more fun to see the expressions change with the different angles as you stitched them. Thanks for making us laugh today!

  5. awwww so cute and funny at the same time. love the wall project also Bea… Thanks for making me smile this morning.

    1. thanks! yeah that emoji is all of us this week, putting on a happy face but crying inside

    1. Cute pincushion! The sad face could also substitute as a little ice pack for little boo boos. I enjoyed you showing how versatile you could make the faces. I might have to check into acquiring an AccuQuilt. Thanks so much for the smiles today!

  6. Hi Bea! What a cute idea. What a fun idea for bringing a smile to everyone’s face. I think it did its job! Take care. ~smile~ Roseanne

    What a cute emoji pin cushion!! Depending on how you are feeling, just have that side up and everyone will know!

  8. Kathleen Scargle McCormick

    I was thinking this was a door pillow – indicating the mood of a child/teen! Fun idea!

  9. What a fun idea to make a pincushion with the die! I love my Accuquilt cutter and was laughing thinking I need to add this die to my collection! Thanks for the giggle and the inspiration.

  10. Cute pincushion. I was thinking hang it on the dishwasher. Happy dishes are clean, sad, dishes are dirty. LOL

  11. A pincushion was perfectly laughable. A hanging one is the best and I’ve added hangers on the last two I’ve made recently. Accu-Cut sure made it go well.
