Another fun swap! The Scrappy Pincushion Swap
(and my white and blue pumpkins from TJs - I love them!)
Some bits of quartered Neptune charms were hexed, then I lined the underside with fusible fleece. I stuffed it with a very fine grain lizard litter. My favorite for the heft it gives to a pincushion.
I'm hoping that fleece lining will make sure the grains don't sneak out of hexagon seams.
I kind of tufted it with a button on the top and bottom. I think that keeps it in a nice, firm shape. I like my pins to stay where they are stuck.
Sending it off today.....I hope my partner enjoys it!
I love it! so cute!
