Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade Starts Today

Here is my entry for the Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade. My parade is led by Ida Hog. Yes, my sister Ida made this adorable hog pincushion for me so she bears Ida’s name. Here is Ida Hog, in all her splendor, leading the Parade of 25 Pincushions.

We have been at our ranch in the Hill Country of Texas since the Coronavirus lockup began. You can see the beautiful view we always have behind the parade. I have a limited fabric stash and a limited number of pincushions. Actually have 2 generic tomato pincushions I picked up at the thrift shop, another that I made from hexies some time ago, 2 others, and a mini pincushion a friend made for me.

Then, when I realized the Pincushion Parade was coming up, I panicked, ordered a Kindle copy of a pincushion book and quickly sewed these up.  Not bad, just useful pincushions but definitely not exciting. I was going for quantity rather than quality.

I really like the House Pincushion so I made one for my daughter, my sewing niece, and each of my sisters.

Finally calmed down and made a few that were somewhat prettier….

And a small and a large biscornu pincushion and, what I think, is a gorgeous Dresden plate pincushion.

I think my sister Lynette was thinking I sounded like I needed pincushions and she sent me a gorgeous tomato pincushion and a mini crocheted flower pincushion which I think are fabulous.

And the star of my parade is Ida Hog which my sister Ida made for me.

That’s my Parade. Check out other’s Parades or show us your Parade at this link.

Finally, that is all.
