March Pincushion

I have finished my pincushion but with a house full of family and the events of the past week I have only got to downloading my photos this evening .... I changed it a bit as I usually do ... added a button and used a printed fabric rather than piece the top and bottom .... thank you to all of you who have sent messages of support over the past 10 days following the loss of my father in law .... they were greatly appreciated and showed me what a wonderfully caring group of ladies I call my blogging friends .... thankyou .....
