Very pretty pincushion, is it stitched on rainbow sparkly aida? Not sure what the correct name is but have looked at it on ebay.

Thanks.
It's really pretty fabric to work with, though it's a bit loose and easy to slip between the blocks instead of into the holes. But honestly, I think it' well worth the hassle of a few slips. Hope you can find some at your LNS.

That is gorgeous Brandi and I love that fabric. I can see why you had to buy some.

The Olympics really slowed down my stitching but I finally got the words completed.

Not my best pictures but you get the idea.

Yes this is the same just using 2 colors this time. Looks so different adding the green. They are fun.
