Sew Mama Sew Giveaway prize
Sorry I am a little late. Here are the pictures of the pincushion I am giving away. It is the pattern from Anna Maria Horner's book Seams to Me. I made myself one a few weeks ago, and I love it. So nice for carrying around with you while you are doing some hand sewing. It is nice and big too, room for lots of pins. I am including a pack of turquoise head pins with the cushion.
Everyone who responded to the previous post will definitely be included in the drawing : D

Love it! Thanks for the giveaway!
what a sweet pincushion in all the sweetest colors! thank you for teh chance to win. please enter my giveaway as well.:)
Awesome giveaway! I'm in need of a pincushion to use in the living room when I do applique and other little sewing projects. Let me tell you it's not nice to accidentally find a missing pin or two! Plus turquoise is my fav color, probably because it was my grandmother's. I live in Texas so howdy neighbor! Up until this year I've had season tickets to the Bossier Shreveport Mudbugs. I hope to visit South Louisiana sometime in the near future.

So cute! I could fit my GFG makings in there as a bundle and it would look so sweet in the living room, far better than the baggies it lives in now!
Very nice! I like how you can put stuff in the center as well. Thanks for the opportunity!
Great looking pin-cushion! Would love for it to live in my sewing room. Where are you in South Louisiana? I grew up in Lafayette, but currently live in Atlanta?
the fabric is so happy!

What a great pincushion,. I just love the hole in the middle too, it's just perfect for storing extra pins or thimbles etc!! Such a great idea and I would really love to win it!! At the moment all of my pins end up in a container at the side of my machine, it's not exactly practical LOL.

The best thing about giveaway day is visiting all the blogs and seeing what folks are making. :)
What a lovely choice of fabrics! Great giveaway :)

I've not seen this style pincushion before...it is lovely and very practical with that center like that....my thread spools seem to go 'walking' every time I sit down to sew and I have to chase it across the room!
that is the best pincushion I ever saw! Love the fabrics too, gorgeous! thanks for the chance to win it :)
My daughter made a pin cushion and thought she would let me use it!! NOPE... she loves it so much. So I am still using the one my grandma made from an old stocking and covered with 2 pieces of felt... it looks like a mouse... well it did lmao... time to up grade. WE're having a give away too!! YAY
