Wacky Pac Quilters

Go check out Pin Keeps and Stitchin' Too for a really neat mushroom pin cushion.

Step up and see the first entry in the Wacky Pincushion Challenge submitted by Debbie at Makin Quilts. Debbie says (and I quote) "well... here it is.... I decided to go slightly unconventional here... and pincushion one of my dogs - LOL.... it's functional as well as darn cute... plus I will send it on to Boston Terrier Club of Canada Rescue as a donation." Way to go Debbie!!! A very cute, clever and original. Thank you Debbie for your submission.

Hey pincushion swappers! Here are some new links for pincushions and a felt scissor case. Enjoy! http://www.pbtex.com/PBTex_DFAIpin.pdf http://www.cutoutandkeep.net//projects/cupcake_pincushion http://molliejohanson.com/wildolive/MDC_January.pdf

Just checking in to see how those pincushions are coming along........I hope you are having fun choosing your pattern (or creating a pattern), fabrics, etc. I can't wait to see them all. Remember to email your pictures to me at kearley75860(at)yahoo(dot)com.

We have five folks so far who want to join our pincushion swap. They are: Toni , Debbie , Gina , Lani , and ClevelandGirlie . The rest of you need to step up to the cushion and make yourself a pin cushion. You can enter up to 3 different ones. Please email a picture of your entry(s) to kearley75860(at)yahoo(dot)com. I will get them posted for all to see. Remember -- February 8th is the last date to play.

Today the "wackies" celebrated our annual Christmas party. As you can imagine there was plenty of food, much laughter and a few tears. Molly challenged us to make pincushions this year. Trust me, this was much easier that her previous ideas. Here's the results from those who chose to participate. I am very proud of our efforts and I think I'll make a few more as gifts. Who know, one might be coming your way.
