good neighbors pincushion {plus a giveaway}

Hello, happy Friday to you all!

Welcome to Pincushion Party celebrating release of AmandaJean's beautiful fabric collection Good Neighbors (available for sale on Sep. 8th) for Connecting Threads.


I've been a fan of Amanda's (crazy mom quilts) gorgeous work for years now. I love how she uses even the smallest scraps and turns them into amazing works of art. Plus, she has an impeccable eye for combining colors which definitely shines through in her new beautiful fabric line.


I love how many small prints are included in the collection as they are perfect for tiny piecing (my HSTs finished at 1.25"). Plus, they come in many colors to choose from.



I went back and forth a lot when deciding on what colors I wanted to use for my pincushion. In the end I chose this limited palette of gray, white, and red which I absolutely adore.


I stuffed this block-y, chunky pincushion with crushed walnut shells and I think that's what I'll be using in my pincushions from now on. I love the texture and heaviness crushed walnut shells add to pincushions and supposedly they even sharpen the pins???

So, what do you say? Would you like to win a charm pack of Good Neighbors? If so, leave a comment saying what you'd make with this colorful charm pack and I'll choose a random winner on Sunday (Sep. 6th) night.

Please note, this giveaway is for US and Canada addresses only.

Thank you so much for participating, everyone. Mr. Random and I have chosen  Sandra W to be our winner.

Congratulations, Sandra!!! Hope you'll enjoy sewing with this lovely collection.
