Hi everyone!~ And thanks Rebecca for your kind words and beautiful collage. I've been on Etsy for 4 years and love the community and the inspiration. My pin cushions have each year gotten larger. They're a handful, satisfying to make, and I love shopping for the vintage fabrics and buttons. Each pin cushion (minus collecting the supplies) takes a little over an hour to put together, if you don't include the time it takes to remake the ones that come out square. I'm pleased to be a guest here at the Ardent Sparrow. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteIf I won, I would choose this Red orange and green vintage fabric pin cushion- and then I would send it to my sister, who loves sewing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
