Swap Pincushion

 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!
