  1. What a lovely pincushion! The button matches it perfectly too.
    I only finished mine off today, and will do a post tomorrow.

  2. The pincushion is adorable. You obviously work well under pressure. Hope you get a chance to rest the fingers a little bit. L,A-

  3. What a sweet little pincushion! I was late on a challenge project last week. With Easter coming up, I just plain lost track of time but I got it done and mailed just a couple of days late. I decided I’m going to pass on swaps and challenges for a bit so I can do a little “catch up”. Like sewing your Christmas blocks together! and a few other projects! 🙂

  4. what a lovely pin cushion Gail, where can i get this pattern from to make one. Fran……. Cairns QLD

  5. Hi,
    I live in Louisiana, USA and was just surfing web; found this site and love your quilts and everything you do. Downloaded last yrs. Christmas BOM and other Christmas patterns. I LOVE redwork and so those type patterns really appeal to me. I want to sign up for newsletter so I can keep up with you. Thanks so much for the beautiful projects.
