Description:

I don't know about you, but I am always needing pincushions. Constantly. Otherwise I end up with pins every where, and they end up in my feet. Then I have to swear.

SO! Let's make some pincushions! Using this pattern and tutorial make your partner a place to keep her pins.

There's one rule and that rule is your pincushion MUST be mostly your partners favourite colour. When you join, list in the comments what colour pincushion you would like. Make sure you read the comments before you start crafting - in order to get a 5, you will need to stick to your partners choice.

(That doesn't mean you need to make the pincushion entirely in whatever colour, you can add contrast threads etc, but the overall colour should match your partners preference).

You'll have three weeks to craft up a fabulous pincushion! Nice little scrap buster too, if you're like me and tend to accumulate offcuts!

I'd like red please :D

So the pincushion can only be made using that pattern?

Frogglin 06/ 1/2010 #

Yes, that's the idea of the swap and the group - everyone uses the same pattern.

Looking forward to this!! Im trying one for practice this weekend - and I have a friend who can help me if I need it for the real thing!

Many color options would be fine (see my profile) but I have been in the mood lately for things in cream/beige/sage green or for things in my living room colors: deep rose/tomato red, butter-gold yellows, apple/sage green with dark brown or black accents. I also love batiks, linen, wool - I'm flexible!

I love blue, beige, cream

I would love pink and brown or pink and green. I like any pattern but I love polka dots, stripes, and paisley.

SO! I tried downloading the actual pieces to print out and it's not letting me... I can see the site you linked and its tutorial so I know HOW to make it... Just curious on the square's measurements if anyone could tell me the inches it's suppose to be..

I'm assuming 4 - 4.5 inches square and then the heart inside with about a half inch "frame". If these are wrong, please let me know.

Just a heads up.. When I was having problems Downloading this it was because the damn thing gave me a virus.. I would suggest that you all check your computers if you have downloaded or tried to download this project.
