Hi all....... I was on line searching for some inspiration for my pincushions and found some very cute ideas. Anyway, I thought some of you might care to see some of what I found. Some are free patterns while others are for sale but so very easy to figure out what is going on.

Heather S...........

Yes.............you are right........I could only open 3 of the listed site addresses when I tried to copy and paste them from here. Yet they work fine if I type them in or use my bookmarks set on my pc. I am not sure why they don't work. I shall send them to you by way of swap-bot message. If that still doesn’t work, we can try e-mail. Also if you just search Google for pin cushion………

Have a beautiful day…..Robin
