A couple of weeks ago I was cutting some 'Spinkles' fabric by Stacy Iest Hsu for a customer order, which got me thinking about cupcakes (as you do!) and before I knew it I had a whole new project on the go...all be it a little one.
I hand drew a simple pattern for the cupcake and then used the interfacing method to create the appliques. As always I had fun adding all the little 'extra' details..... some lace, which I hand sewed to the cupcake case and then tucked the ends underneath as I appliqued it in place. A polka dot button for the 'cherry on top' and a little decorative stitching in Aurifil 12wt. The pattern for the potholder can be found in Sedef's lovely book, Quilt Petite and can be rustled up really quickly. Would you believe I made this in an evening and then it sat there waiting for the ribbon loop to be sewn on for almost two weeks! Am I the only one who does this?.....please say no!
I hope that you've had a lovely weekend full of Happy Stitches!
Very pretty, I have a granddaughter that would love that. She enjoys baking so much and is very good at it. Says that when she grows up she wants to be a nurse and own a bakery :)
