700th Post Celebration!


I am celebrating today! 
It's not my birthday.
It's not my anniversary.
It's not my blogiversary either.

This is my 700th post here on Pink Pincushion!

If you know me, you already know that I 
love vintage toy sewing machines!
Every now and then I love the opportunity to 
share my collection with special people.

Today I am offering this little gem as
a giveaway prize. 
If you would like to join in my celebration and
have a chance to win "Sally Singer", leave me
a comment... and if you feel like giving me
a little extra bloggy love...
 I would love it if 
you became a follower... 
unless you already are a follower...
then in that case...
you know I already love you!!!

I also wanted to give a little extra shout out to 
the winners from the Jersey Girl
AYOS parade this week!
Sherri (A Quilting Life) posted the winners...
but I wanted to give an extra little applause
to those of you who participated in
our parade!
It was one of my favorites... and for sure my favorite one
this year! ha!
This one was Barb's JG.
Here blog name is For the Love of Threads.


This one was made by Kim at Kim's Big Quilting Adventure.



This version of Jersey Girl was created by Peggy at Stitchin with Peg blog.



and this one was made by Nicole...

I am so glad that we are back on track with our Another Year of Schnibbles!
It was so fun to see you all again! 
I am going back through all the quilts in the parade just to make sure I didn't miss any!!!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment to
have a chance to win the little sewing machine!
I will pick a winner next Friday...
which just happens to be Valentine's Day!
How fun is that?
