Made in-the-hoop with fleece or felt, each tart pincushion stitches in less than 6 minutes .. so a whole batch takes no time at all!  The "pastry crust" is woven ~ it looks just like the "REAL" thing that Grandma used to make, and it's REALLY simple!  You choose your cotton "fruit" fabric, and some felt .. easy peasy!!

The "fruit" fabric can be any fabric you choose ~ the background fabric is also used in the tart:

Complete Show-N-Tell (with photos) instructions included!

 All  ingredients  .. oops supplies are readily available for purchase .. details included in the instructions!

1)  I used Wilton Square Baking and Craft Cups ~ they are available at Joanns, Michaels, Hobby Lobby etc in the Wilton baking section OR via www.wilton.com

2) the MSRP of the (12) Wilton Baking Cups is $9.99.  I used a 40% off coupon, so each cup costs $0.50

3)  the berries-on-top are from assorted Christmas springs

4)  (1) 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" piece of 1/2" thick styrofoam is needed .. 

5)  yes, the tart is "stuck" to the silicone baking cup .. after trying EVERY adhesive in my home, I found a small piece of "foam" carpet tape does the trick!     I purchased the carpet tape at the dollar store years ago ~ I know Target carries Carpet tape!  Gayle discovered that Silicone Caulk works great too ~ THANKS Gayle!

6)  the "lattice" edging was creating by using pinking shears / pinking rotary cutter!  

THANKS for your excitement, and have fun making tart pincushions!
