For anyone that is interest here is a site for a pin cushion contest. Now I think making a funky or regular pin cushion would be fun for a contest. I am going to try to make a funky one and enter it. Probably won't win but it'll still be fun to come up with an idea and carry through with it. Anyone else? :D Here is the site.
