pincushion swap

Remember when I made this for the pincushion swap? Well last night was the big swap at The Quilt Asylum. And what fun it was! There were more than 30 pincushions entered (some ladies had 2 or 3!) and none of them were even remotely the same! So many cute ideas. Of course, I forgot my camera (shame on me!) but here is the pincushion I received:

Isn't it the sweetest little Birthday Cake? And what good timing, since I just celebrated a birthday on Saturday. This was made by Emily & it's so cute & well made. I love it! It will be displayed on my sewing table & will make me smile every day! Thank you Emily & thanks to TQA for such an awesome event!

Next up, pillow swap! Not until April though so I have some time to come up with a fantastic idea!

Both of these pincushions are adorable! You were both lucky! Of course, they are almost too cute to use :-)
