Fun spin on a pincushion!

I recently participated in a Pincushion Swap over at Freckled Nest. I had to mail out a pincushion to my partner by this past weekend and I, of course, waited till the last minute. I didn't want to make your everyday pincushion. So, in a mad frenzy, I started searching some of my fave sites for pincushion inspiration. When I found this

I was in LOVE!

Anyone that knows me, knows I like to have a pattern for everything! I don't know why, but I basically refuse to try and make my own pattern. That's just how I roll! Did I just say that? Ugh, I'm a dork. Anywho...here's the pattern from Urban Debris

It's super easy and it takes all of 45 minutes, if that. I wanted to add some to mine, so mine took a little longer, but not much. Here's my completed hedgehog
Eeek!!!! Isn't she cute?!?!?!

I hope my swap partner loves it...I know I do!
