First Friday Freebie #29

The dog days of summer have arrived and so has the First Friday of July!

My obsession with pincushions continues this month. 

After posting the photo of a pincushion that I designed for my swap partner in THIS post, several of you asked me to share the pattern so I decided to do so for this month’s First Friday Freebie.

Use your imagination and make each pincushion uniquely yours.

Have fun and most of all, enjoy!

    Thus is just too cute! Love the pattern, those wonderful hand stitches, and especially the way that you have adorned a vintage spool with a pin cushion! Yep, this is a 'must-do'! Your pictures are worthy of a photography award...stunning! Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend!

    Kaaren, I would love this pattern, but for some reason I cannot view it, let alone print. I don't know what to do. It looks like I can't do any of your First Friday's. Do you know what I could do? Thank you.
