Tufted Tweets--A Pincushion Giveaway

For those of you who have been following for awhile, you know that I am a huge fan of Laurie Wisbrun of Scarlet Fig. She has been designing her fabulous fabric and now has her first line, Tufted Tweets, with major fabric manufacturer, Robert Kaufman. I have impatiently patiently waiting for the fabric to arrive in stores (yes, the sound you hear in the background is my fingers drumming on my desk....) but in the meantime, Laurie generously sent me a bag of selvages along with a few nice-sized scraps from the line.


Of course the obvious thing to do with such a treasure was to make pincushions. We are having a simultaneous chance to win a pincushion. On Laurie's blog, you can leave a comment to win this red and orange pincushion:


And by leaving a comment on my blog, you have a chance to win this really cute purple and green pincushion:


Simple as that. Leave a comment here and leave a comment on Scarlet Fig. And on June 6, we'll each be picking a random winner. And go to Sewing on the Edge for some new pincushions. If you are a Flea Market Fancy lover, you'll want to check it out.

I love these pincushions! What a lovely idea for a project. I've been anxiously waiting for Tufted Tweets to appear locally (soon!) and I'm currently working on a project with Donkeys and Wellies - so a pincushion would certainly come in handy.

I will try again to get my hands on one of these ultra cute, super fabulous pin cushion.

I will have to add this fabric to my wish list :).
