Pin Cushion Challenge Entries

Remember that fun pin cushion challenge that we hosted at the end of last year?   Well, we were amazed at the number and quality of entries that came in!

The winners will be published in the Spring 'The Canadian Quilter'.  We can show you the runner ups for this fun event.    I would also like to point out that Susan Delaney gave us the pattern for her fun lollipop pin cushion.

Yoka Scott shared her pattern for her cute hedgehog on our website as well.

Here are some of the other wonderful entries we received.

Challenge Time

This is the post where you are going to be inspired, motivated and encouraged to jump into the fun and pick a challenge to try.  Have you ever participated in one?   If you are a newcomer to challenges, our pin cushion challenge is the perfect one for you.   

Pin Cushion Challenge

Do you like the idea of a challenge with a chance to get published, win some fabric and not spend a year creating the project?   If so, this challenge is for you!   Every quilter uses pins, whether it be to hold their piecing together, attach sashing, or accidentally sew them into the binding!  This challenge is super easy, you get to use your imagination, scraps of fabric and you don’t even have to mail us your entry!  If you have never entered anything before, why not give it a try?  How thrilling it would be to see your work published in a national magazine!  This challenge is due December 10th, 2012, so get started!
