Pincushion Inspiration

I've had this pattern in my "to-do" folder for far too long. It's Heather Bailey's Square Deal Pincushion. My old pincushion was bursting at the seems and had definitely seen better days. I decided that since I was making one, I might as well make two. So my friend, who is just getting into sewing, is getting a new pincushion too. I'm hoping that this pincushion, that sits on my desk, will bring me inspiration every time I see it. How could it not - it's got a little bit of Anna Maria Horner (my favorite fabric designer), a little Amy Butler and those cute little owls.
