1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way....March 2010 -March 2011...........
2nd SAL ......well so many of the girls wanted to continue on with another project and some new girls joined us and now approx 91 girls are stitching Natalie Bird's Tis the Season. March to Sept 2011...............
3rd SAL....many girls want to stick with the SAL so now we have moved onto Anni Downs Some Kind of Wonderful - My Favourite Things Quilt.......Oct 2011-Oct 2012.........

Pin Cushion #2 to match my SKoW March Tote



I absolutely love these little pin cusions and they work up so quickly.  I used 4 layers of batting which I placed in the top of the cushion then filled...and I mean stuffed full.....with Uncle Ben's rice.  I dont think another grain would fit in.  The rice does give it a nice weight.  I just hope my boys dont decide to use it as a hacky-sac! LOL
I am really enjoying seeing everyones pin cushions, they are all so lovely.  Great gifts for special friends.  Happy Stitching Ladies...Holly
