I think it looks OK if you stand about 2 metres away from it and squint your eyes! Basically, the flowers are not ideally positioned and are a bit out of proportion to each other, BUT it does give me an idea for printing some fabric by the metre ... scatttered multi-sized artichoke flowers? ... I might have a play on the computer this weekend.
Some of you might also remember the artichoke I embroidered using my sewing machine last year. Well, I finally did something with it - I made a little pin cushion for the studio ...
I hope your space is creative this week too. Have a look at some other spaces, or join in, by clicking here and saying hello to Kirsty at Kootoyoo!

I really like how the artichokes take up most of the blank space on the tea towel.
Looks like you've been hard at work!
I guess it's normal for us (the creator) to be bit hard on ourself sometime. But they all looking good in my eyes! It is definitely something different compare to the others I would say. Keep up the good work, Nic! :)
Oh its lovely Nic!
Eye-squinting is good!:D Love the little pincushion, but then I love the artichoke too!
I love the artichoke pincushion.
Nice artichoke pin cushion. The randomly placed artichokes flowers look good too!
nic . the best way to have artichoke in my opinion . lovely.
red or gray
i think that tea towel is perfect as is! :O)
i wish i was that clever!
Ooh I like them both! The tea towel looks great, you're almost there :)
Yes, the artichoke flowers are really interesting, kinda kaleidoscopic. Keep going, you're heading somewhere good!
The artichoke pin cushion looks great, almost too sweet to poke pins into.
Your pin cushion is just fabulous Nic! I know what you mean about the tea towel but it is still a very stunning pattern. Metered fabric sounds fun :) K
sweet pincushion!tea towel is lovely too :)
Don't stop there - the fabric by the metre is an artichoke excellent notion!
I like them both equally, I love the way on the tea towel the colours overlap a little
The only way I'm ever be able to figure out what works is by experimenting too... does trying to figure things out on the computer work for you? I guess it'd be the less costly option! But not half as fun.
The pin cushion is gorgeous, so pleasingly plump. Look forward to more machine embroidery at some point...
Love it, close up, far away, mixed & matched, gorgeous. Do love the screen printing, snap, my Creative Space today was also sewing & printing, in a whole different vein. Love Posie
Great little pincushion! Like a mini cushion! Hey, thanks for the teatowel, my friend loved it and is off to check out your Etsy shop & blog. It also got fondled by the waiter at the cafe we were in...love that organic cotton! xo
Love the pincushion - I'm a big fan!
We definitely keep missing each other at Ironside - hope to see you soon.
i really like your big artichoke flowers & long runs would be wicked.
your pin cushion is gorgeous.
the fabric design will work really well i think :)
i love the artichoke design so much. the tea towel is ace and love the pincusion
Your pin cushion is altogether too lovely to be used for what it is designed for!
Very nice.
I like the tea towel.. I do! I think it's pretty & kooky.. a sign of who made it, perhaps...?! ;)
Tres cute pincushion too! Productive lass you are!
Love it! The pincushion is gorgeous too. Not sure that I could stick pins in it.
Somebody else said kaleidoscopic - I think so too, when I squint the artichokes look like big faceted jewels - like bling towels, not tea towels. I like it very much. I think it would look great on by the metre fabric.
I do love a good artichoke. There is something about them. The colour, the layers, that chunky stem. Great idea. I'm sure they too will be "all the rage" ;)
I think your artichokes are lovely. They look a little like a fractal picture... It took me a while to realise what they were. I guess I was looking at the "whole" rather than the individuals... ;) Cute pincushion and thanks for the visit.
Wow! I love the artichoke pattern!
it's so wonderful to see your process Nic! loving the pincushion
I have pincushion envy.
I like the layering in the print; it would be fabulous in fabric by the meter. That little pin cushion is super adorable- but it has a couple of problems. You won’t be able to pin into the artichoke area because it’s way too cute AND you will have to source all matching red pins so it is always looking its best!!!!
The two colours work well Nic. You must be getting desperate to have a go at that metre printing.
Pin cushion = gorgeous.
Such a delightful pincushion!
... can completely understand the printing frustration *sigh*
The pin cushion is lovely, I really love the artichoke image, a lot!
