Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade

It has been several years since the last PPPP and I have really missed it! So was very happy to hear that Ida was planning another this year.


You can go to Ida's blog here to link up and to view everyones contributions. I am really looking forward to seeing some new ideas and inspiration, everyone has such great imagination when it comes to pincushions.

I got all my pincushions out for a photoshoot!


After I had put them away I realised that I had forgotten two so they got their own photoshoot!


While I was wondering what to make for this years parade I was browsing through this little Anni Downs book.


One of her sweet little stitches really resonated with me - 'My Home is my Haven'. Well my home has been my haven during lockdown and so came the idea for a commemorative pincushion.



I am off to link up with Ida and see what interesting ideas are turning up. I shall be back later in the week with a few 'new to PPPP' pincushions. See you then.

  5. Lin what a beautiful collection! I enjoyed looking at them all down to the tiny wooden shoe and swan. It's amazing how someone made a heart pincusion to fit so perfectly into the glass box. I love how you have attached the embroidery scissors to that beautiful biscornu. Thanks so much for always supporting the PPPP . I appreciate you!

  8. Oh Goodness Lin, what a very lovely collection of pincushions - all so different too making it difficult to choose a favourite although I do love the My Home is my Haven one and the pretty purple green pincushion that looks like it is a crazy patchwork one.

  10. Lin your pincushion parade is very beautiful. I agree with the others that it is so hard to pick a favorite, but I do think that "My home is my haven" sure is meaningful during this time and it it so lovely that I am choosing it as my overall favorite amongst the beauties I see.
