A GOOD NEIGHBORS PINCUSHION--AND A GIVE AWAY

***********Give away is now closed
I'm sure you are all familiar with Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts fame?  Hers was one of the first blogs I started following when I first discovered there was such a thing : )  So much inspiration !
She co-authored one of my favourite quilting books ever, Sunday Morning Quilts.  Well now, she has designed a line of fabric called 'Good Neighbours'  for Connecting Threads

When I was asked to participate in this blog hop I was thrilled, but then experienced a moment of panic!  I had never made a pincushion.  I thought about it for a bit and then decided to fall back on my area of comfort, and make some hexies.  There were so many little prints in the line that would lend themselves to the hexagons, that I had a hard time choosing.


aren't the prints cute???


I made three little flowers and chose the green print for my 'grassy' background


It's filled with fibrefill and finished about 4 1/2" square


Connecting threads has offered to send one of you a Charm Pack of  Good Neighbours , and I decided to offer up the pincushion as a second give-away. I may even sweeten the pot with some charms of my own : )



Leave me a comment on this post telling me where you are from : )   ******If you comment from google+ I can't reply to you so leave me your e-mail in the comments.

Thanks so much for reading today.  Here is the list of all the other participants for even more chances to win!
