Do you know how to make a Cathedral Window Pincushion? Many many years ago I found a great way to try a Cathedral Window with one simple useful square! I wanted to make a gift for a sewing friend and thought she could use a pincushion. Who does not love a pretty pincushion!?!
After many years and many variations, I found the perfect and easy way to make the pincushion and it is now available as a pattern in my Etsy Shop!
You can make these for yourself or they make fantastic gifts for ALL of your sewing friends! After you make this pincushion, you will have the confidence to take on more projects that use these elegant blocks!
This is gorgeous Kim. I love the look of cathedral windows but have yet to try it. Love yours xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! You did a great job. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love it! My daughter and I will do this together over Christmas. Very timely.

What a beautiful pin cushion and what an excellent, clear tutorial. I am going to have a go at this definitely!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Mary Ann at the Needle and Thread network. And I found Mary Ann through my friend's blog What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday (WOYWW for short!) where craftspeople from all over the world post up what they're working on each week. It's fun but addictive :)
Thank You!

Just wanted to say thanks for this. I am normally horrible with patterns and directions and the seam ripper is always handy. But your tutorial was so clear the seam ripper never came out. Thanks again so much. Here is my Flickr photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/12784349@N08/6763258001/in/photostream

Such a pretty block and a great tutorial. I have been intrigued by Cathedral blocks, but have been intimidated to attempt because I am a fairly new quilter (only been quilting for about a year now)...Just finished following your tutorial and made my first pin cusion. May even make a larger pillow or quilt. Thanks for such a great tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great tutorial! I made one today using your tutorial, and it came out great! :)

Thanks again! Cyrille
I finally got around to making one today- great tutorial! :) It turned out so cute- I almost hate to give it away.
ReplyDeleteI saw Jennifer's and had to check this out!! You make it look pretty simple....the true test will be if even I can make it!! Thanks so very much! ~karen
ReplyDeleteI am going to try and make this into a pillow. I will figure out the dementions at a certain point.
ReplyDeleteI am going to do this for a pillow. I am having a little bit of a hard time. Do you fold it twice? There for a pillow 12 inches would need the white 24 inch or the 36 inch? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for this super tutorial. A Particular thank you for using lots of different fabrics so it is easier to see what is happening. I will be having a go at this later.
ReplyDeleteWOW, do you ever make that look easy! Thanks for sharing this :)
ReplyDeleteKim, this is such a cute and easy pincushon. I have always wanted to make cathedral windows, but was intimidated by them. Breaking it down to a smaller project like this made it impossible for me not to at least try it. I made one and it was easy!!! Thank you for your really nice tutorial with the pictures. Since I am a visual learner, it was very much appreciated. I will be making more of these! nice stocking stuffers for sewing friends at Christmas time!

I tried Cathedral window for a cushion.Mine is not as beautiful as yours. Thanks for the lovely and clear tutorial
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I have one question: you said that adding the green fabric square was optional. If you hadn't added it, what would show through the openings? White fabric?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this information........:-)
ReplyDelete2bedperth is the online store which offers you gift, cushion,home decorations etc. http://www.2bedperth.com/
Thanks for the super tutorial. I found your page and made three of them -- and would make more if I had time as they are addicting. Anyway I blogged about it and linked back to your page, so maybe traffic has picked up a little for you. :)
ReplyDeletedrooling! and the kicker is that I think I have most of these fabrics in my scrap basket. This is on my list for sure!!
ReplyDelete~Heather
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I had always wondered how Cathedral Windows was made. From my first reading of your tutorial to a beautiful finished pincushion took about 90 minutes, and I'm a pretty new quilter. These will make great gifts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea!! I'm thinking of trying this in a larger format to use as a ring bearer pillow for my daughter's wedding. Somewhere in between the pin cushion size and the pellon tutuorial size, which is way too big. About how large does the finished pin cushion measure? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for this tutorial. I made one as a gift.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and just made one of these adorable pincushions!!! Thank you! Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis was a much better explanation about how to make this pincushion and anything I had looked at on the internet. In particular the information about the 1/8" placement of the triangle to make the window!! I struggled with understanding that part. AND, your pictures were very clear and helpful. THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you could produce that cushion from such a simple tutorial! The design is stunning. I need to try something bright for my window seat. This would be perfect.
