Pretty little pincushions (plus a giveaway)

A few days ago, I had a major urge to do a bit of hand sewing. Usually I have a quilt or two on the go which allows me to hand sew to my heart's delight. But, with no quilt to work on at the moment (shocking, I know!), I opted to create a small little project instead. Without too much effort, I came up with these adorable little pincushions.

Made with cream quilting cotton, stuffed with polyfil, and feature a hand-stitched flower in two contrasting fabrics.

I'll be adding these five to the shop in the next couple of weeks, but for now I wanted to give you all a little preview and do my first giveaway of 2012! The winner will receive this extra special little pincushion - it's extra special because it has a button! Oooo. Awwww.

Orange gingham flower with eggplant base...does not photograph well at all!
