- In this week's video I am making an English Pieced Patchwork star shaped pincushion with scraps of fine wool.
I'm talking about the history of pincushions and why I love them and also about snakehead fritillaries and where they grow in my garden.

A very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Love the flowers as well. ❤🌿💐🌿
Thank you x
This was so lovely! I would love to see more tutorials like this, you have such a warm and natural way of teaching! ❤
The k you Eugenie x
I loved the lesson on the star pin cushion 😮 I’m excited to discover you & your RUclips channel
Thank you so much Ronda. X
Thank you for this tutorial, you are looking really well after your break in Naples xxx
Thanks Tracy. It was a great place to spend time. X
This was such a soothing video to watch. I think I will try my hand at a star pin cushion!!Thank you
Thank you. I hope that you enjoy making it. J x
What a lovely little video Jane. One of my favourite Charles Rennie Mackintosh paintings is his snakes head Fritillaries ☺️. They are such delicate jolly little flowers bobbing in the breeze
That is such a beautiful watercolour isn’t it - it is in the collection of The Hunterian where I was curator of British Art and was the first time I had seen snakeshead fritillaries. I thought he must have made up the checked flowers to go with his checked interior designs!
@@snapdragonlife how wonderful. I had the same reaction when I saw it in a CRM watercolour exhibition in Edinburgh (perhaps you were involved in the lending ☺️). I hunted them out after that.
Really enjoyed the video tutorial Jane & so interesting about the history of pins - I had no idea!
There is an eyerolling Samuel Pepys diary entry from Sunday 18 August 1667
‘…turned into St. Dunstan’s Church, where I heard an able sermon of the minister of the place; and stood by a pretty, modest maid, whom I did labour to take by the hand and the body; but she would not, but got further and further from me; and, at last, I could perceive her to take pins out of her pocket to prick me if I should touch her again - which seeing I did forbear, and was glad I did spy her design.’
I find your tutorials calming and enjoyable, its nice to have them as a resource for future inspiration. The snakeshead fritallaries look so pretty nodding their heads . ❤
Thanks so much Tania. I’m in love with the fritillaries. X
What a lovely, gentle and relaxing tutorial. Thank you, Jane x
Thanks Sandra x
Really enjoyed this tutorial, would love to see more like it. I am going to make my mum one for Christmas. I love your snakes head fritillary’s you have so many, I planted some in the autumn, only 15 came up but hopefully they will return each year xx
Thanks Kate. We have had a pheasant living in the orchard and he has snipped the heads off every single purple snakehead fritillary, leaving only the white ones, like some manic minimalist gardener. X
Close up of process would be very helpful !
Hi Julie. I have a lot of close ups in the videos in the courses that I share in my online club - The Studio Club - which is how I make my living. The technical filming and editing make it just too time consuming to do here for free. Best wishes. Jane.
Thank you for this! I’m fairly new to EPP and love your pin cushions. I think that there’s no such thing as “too many” pincushions, so I plan to add to my collection for myself and for gifts. I look forward to seeing more from you! 🧵
Thank you Anne. You are right - definitely no such thing as ‘too many’ pincushions! J x
Thank you that was lovely. Yes, please more videos like this.
Thank you Judy. X
Wonderful♥️ loved the tutorial and your beautiful garden. Thank you.
Thank you x
Another wonderful video Jane - I'm so glad I 'found' you recently on RUclips. I've been enjoying catching up on your other episodes and would love to see more of these tutorials.
Thank you so much Sue. I shall see what I can do! J x
Thank you for this delightul video. The pincushion is so pretty and a great way of using up scraps. The snakeshead frittilaries are a natural work of art and always make me think of the watercolour drawings of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Thanks Grace. That amazing Charles Rennie Mackintosh watercolour is in the collection where I was curator for a while. It was the first fritillary I saw and I assumed that the checks were an invention to go with his checkerboard designs of the same time! X
Amazing flowers 💕
Loved the video Jane…as usual❤
Thank you so much Lesley x
Loverly pincushion. Seeing the flowers makes me wish our section was wet. We are on clay soil but on a slope - enough of a slope that our olive trees thrive.
Thank you. Yes I doubt that snakehead fritillaries and olive trees would thrive happily together (though you never know, I may be proved wrong!) J x
Just found your channel yesterday. I loved the pincushion tutorial. I made several Biscornu,(pincushions) . I was inspired by K3n channel. I will make some of these lovely gems. 🇦🇺🦘🧵
Thank you. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. X
A very relaxing video and i enjoyed listening to the history of pins. I'd like to see a mix of craft tutorials, gardening, baking and seeing a day out to a garden / exhibition.
Thank you. I’ll do my best to- now that the weather is getting better here I do have a list of gardens I want to visit with my camera! J x
I would have liked your camera closer to your work so I could have seen how you sewed the pincushion! Especially when someone hasn’t done patchwork before 😬
Hi - There is a full step by step course on English Pieced Patchwork on my website which might suit you - www.snapdragonlife.com/content/courses/?id=21 - this has close up filming and photographs.
@@snapdragonlife that is A LOT OF FOOTAGE to go through...just to find...t hand sewing the pieces together...which was skipped in your video here.!!!
Are you basting right through the template? I can't quite see if that's the case but it appears you have. The video is lovely and relaxing. So glad I found you! Maybe next time you could scoot the camera closer so these old eyes can see your lovely handwork. ❤
Hi. I’ll see what I can do. Maybe I can borrow another camera to take another angle! J x
@@snapdragonlife I can't wait! That was such a lovely tutorial. You are a fantastic teacher with such a great sense of color and style. The room you were in looks so comfortable.
Thank you. And yes - sorry I didn’t answer all your question - I basted (or tacked as I term it in the video) right through the card template and then snip and pull out the stitches to get the card out.
i REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO ONLY COULD YOU MANAGE TO GET A CLOSE UP OF WHEN YOU ARE DOING IN THIS CASE THE NEEDLE WORK ,THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU.
You’re too far away from the camera. I can’t see what you’re doing very easily.
Hi - I’m sorry you can’t see the exact details of what I’m doing - I do have a step by step course about English pieced patchwork on my website which is currently part of The Studio Club membership. www.snapdragonlife.com/content/courses/?id=21
