I finally finished my pincushion for the
Scrappy Pincushion Swap over on flickr. My partner said that she liked red & aqua so I ran with it. She had an owl in her mosaic so I made up this little guy.
He's perched on a scrappy log cabin pincushion that I made out of my scrap bin. I love it when scraps go to good use!
I even got to use some of my yummy sushi fabric for the centre....I figure owls must love sushi. I know I love sushi anyway. And now that we live in a big city we can actually enjoy it now and then.
I admit that I also struggled with this swap, but I'm happy with the end results. You might wonder why I keep signing up for swaps considering it takes me until right before the deadline to commit to an idea, but the truth is that is just the way I am. And I really love swaps because they push me to create. I would never have made this little guy with out a swap to make me.
This little guy is now off to his new home.

Aww, Barb, he is so cute!! Great job. I am sure your partner for the swap will love both of them.
Ah! I love it!!! The owl and the cushion are gorgeous!! I'm the same as you! I think the pressure of the deadline sometimes helps me to get my projects done. The swaps really help me take more risks and learn new skills! Gotta love that!
I love it, they are precious!!!
I love him - and I had one in my mosaic - fingers crossed :)
