The Great Pyramids





Well, not sure about The Great Pyramids, but I have enjoyed sewing these pyramids - the incredibly creative stitchers from Southern Cross Quilters kindly provided me with the instructions, and once I got started I just couldn't stop. Filled with rice or kitty litter they make great doorstops (sand is perhaps better, but messy to work with); filled with a combination of soft toy stuffing with some kitty litter in the middle (fiddly but workable) they are a great way to store brooches, or for pin cushions. The small ones are intended to hold a book open - a great idea if you like to combine a book with a cafe visit. So thank you to the girls who sent me instructions, and ideas ... I am going to put a few on my trading table at this weekend's Lawson market, so wish me luck!

Hi
Love your pyramids! As a fellow scquilter I would love the instructions too if you'd like to share them.
Kind regards

Just love those little pyramids. Equilateral triangles eh!! Have yet to try to reproduce them, but after having a look at how lovely they turn out, I have decided to cut out a couple today/tomorrow, no maybe Monday, have my baby grandies dedication/christening this weekend.
