I love the lavender and even more so that it was grown by your DH. The fabric is beautiful and not a pattern I have seen here. Many thanks.

I have been following along. Sewing besides quilting is challenging for me and your pincushions are all so nice. I ordered some patterns and hopefully I will enter soon. Everyone's pincushions are really nice.

Hi Anna,
Come join us. We are a great group and all have different skill levels and I know you will do your best and make a lovely pincushion. Also, as Nonnie said, there are plenty of freebie patterns out there.
I will be posting next months soon!!!!
Hugs

Hi Lillian,
Your package was sent to you by Linda Snyder (Eyes) not Nanlin.
Just wanted to put the record straight.
Thanks

Anna Quilts....I agree with Nonnie4 and CarolinePaj. When you get the chance...please join! We all started somewhere in our adventures with quilting/sewing. And I know I am still learning things! Everyone in the group appreciates the effort you put into making something. Like Nonnie, I've become obsessed with these pin cushions. I've got to find another place to display the collection I've gotten by being a part of this group!

Thank you all for your encouragements. When one of you mentioned pincushions made with small blocks, I thought I had a book, Pin Pals 40 patchwork pincushions. Well maybe not because I can not find it. I agree Nonnie's piggy pinny is adorable.
