Last minute pincushion swapping inspiration

Do you think that I am taking the pincushion thing too far?
Well the wee one agrees ~ she pulled them all out!

I wanted to give you a couple more pincushion links before swap sign ups close tomorrow...

Linda, who blogs at Natural Suburbia, has, as always, been generous with her talents and a little while ago posted a tutorial for this knitted apple ~ how handy! it doubles as a pincushion. I am sure she knew I was planning this swap!


PharMa has created and shared this tutorial for a hairbrush pincushion, try as I might (and with her permission even) I can't download the image to show you here; clink on the link and have a peek. PharMa is convinced her brush and the pincushion were separated at birth.

And I just remembered that Margaret from We Bloom Here did a lovely post a wee while back ~ a pincushion of possibilities; oh! all the beautiful, clever cushions she shares images of.

BE quick if you want to join in ~ Sign-ups for this open, international pincushion swap close tomorrow evening (Sunday, September 25^th 2011; Eastern Australian time) What you create is limited only by your skill and imagination but all pincushions need to be complete and ready for postage by the first week of October.
