This is it! You are on the link-up page for the 3rd Annual Perfectly Pleasing Pincushion Parade!
Yes, the dates read Sept 4-15 but we have decided to give you an extra day to get your entries in........If you post by 11:55 PM on September 16th you will still be able to participate! You may link up as many pages as you like so that you can use older posts if you wish but only one link per person will be counted towards prize eligibility. However you can get an extra chance by blogging about the party and another extra chance by posting the button to your blog. Please leave a comment on this post and let me know you have done so. For your convenience I have posted a "grab my button" on my right side bar............
This year just for added fun we are also giving a consolation prize to the winner of the "ugliest pincushion"....do you have a pincushion you made that didn't quite turn out the way it was supposed to....or maybe a well-worn favorite that has seen better days? I know I do! Include a separate photo and tell us it is your "Ugly Pincushion Entry" for a chance to win a nice prize.
Do you remember all our fabulous prizes??......Well I do! We have so many nice sponsors this year and since our last Parade post we heard from yet another.........Shabby Fabrics.com is donating a $25 gift certificate to some lucky winner! Shabby has a wonderful website full of yummy fabrics, precuts, patterns, Block of the month clubs....gosh just click on the link and go see for yourself!
We have included links on this post for all our sponsors. Please thank them for their support by visiting their websites to see all they have to offer then head down to the bottom of this page and link-up your pretties!
The first 35 individuals to link-up will get a $10 gift certificate from Embroidery Library!
One lucky winner gets a $25 Gift Certificate from Hawthorne Threads from the Parade
Clint and Judi at Green Fairy Quilts are donating a $15 Gift Certificate!
Another of our fabulous blogging friends, Kelli from Seriously I think it needs Stitches is donating your choice of 2 of her patterns if you are the lucky winner........Kelli has had her patterns featured in Quiltmaker's 100 blocks series and has also been a featured designer in the Triangles on a Roll quilt market and festival booth in Houston.........
Martingale has a copy of their 2018 Quilt Calendar to give away to 2 winners!
Irene from Hilachas is donating a copy of her cookbook entitled, "Mom How do you boil water?" It is a cookbook that reaches out to Novice cooks who literally have never cooked before.........All of Irene's children, nieces, nephews have a copy of this wonderful book and have learned how to do much more than boil water!
We are giving away a $10 Starbucks gift card and some assorted fat quarter packs.............
So now all you have to do is link your page below!
Don't forget to include a separate photo of your "Ugly Pincushion Entry"
Good Luck Everyone!

wow Ida sounds like fun i hope to make one over the weekend xx
Gosh, this is so exciting! I'm starting my stitching today!
I've blogged about your Parade, and have tried to add the button, but somehow I don't seem to have all the code. Not sure where I've gone wrong, can you help?

I'm looking forward to the fun. I love seeing all of the great pincushions each year.
Thank you Ida, I have followed your instructions and I now have the button on my blog.
Thanks again. Now to get stitching!

I'm popping in from Barbara's (Flashing Scissors) blog and am intrigued with your link up! It sounds like such fun and great inspiration for those of us who love pincushions. I'll be following your blog and coming back for further visits!
I'm looking forward to this year's parade.
Can't wait for the parade - I've made a mention of it together with the link in my blogpost today
Cannot wait for this to start...love eye candy...
I have added your button on my blog too.
I have put a post about the parade on my blog and put the button on my sidebar.....so what do I do now ?
Do I just put up photos on my blog ?
I've not done this before....
Just finished a fun little pincushion (pumpkin) and just might have to make more! Your party motivated me to get started, thanks! I'll be checking back to see all the fun things everyone else links up.
I just linked up 98 pincushions, of course I HAVE to make 2 more really quick!!
I blogged about it! So much fun to play along - thank you!
I have added a group photo of my Pincushion family and added your button. What a nice idea.
Sorry I am not great at this and on number 20 I just put my blog not the link with the PPPP page (number 21). Hope you can fix it . I tried.. OOPs!!
Thanks Ida. All linked up and having fun seeing all of these amazing pincushions.
This is so much fun! I love seeing all the lovely creations. And, such fabulous give aways, too. Pat :)
