Welcome to June's swap!!! Found my pincushion pattern today. I just have to shrink it. It is really supposed to be a pillow, but I fell in LOVE with it!! I am still searching for my needlecase pattern. May just have to come up with something on my own. We will just have to wait and see.

I completed my first pin cushion today! Made a pattern I have been wanting to try for a long time and was to scared to. Well I pulled up my boots and made it! It turned out better then I expected. Now for the second one. I am not sure if I want to make two different pincushions or make the same one twice. I might just make a bunch and go from there since I do have time. Is there a size limit on pincushions? Because the one I just made is huge!
