If you missed the November meeting, or did not get the instructions for the Petal Pusher Pin Cushion, you can see a picture and get the instructions at our Small Projects link.

Becky presented this as a Pincushion Exchange for next month's meeting, so check it out and plan to participate. It was generally agreed that, while this pattern was made available, it is not required as the pattern you use to make YOUR pin cushion for the exchange.
