PieceWork magazine has announced details of the bi-annual Excellence in Needle Arts awards and this year�s theme is the pincushion!
The categories are cross-stitch, needlepoint,
crochet, knitting, lacemaking, tatting, quilting, and embroidery. This year there is a new category: �Next Generation Embroider,� sponsored by Sublime Stitching, which is open to stitchers who are between the ages of 15 and 25; entries in this category must incorporate embroidery.
Sooooooo, make a pin cushion out of crochet, add some crochet to the edge of a fabric pin cushion (see most recent article about
blanket stitch and crochet), make some crochet lace to decorate a pin cushion, cover a fabric pin cushion with some crochet in a different colour, crochet a wrist band to attach a pin cushion to........
Any other ideas - good luck to anyone who enters. Post a pic here so we can see what you are doing!!
