I love pin cushions, but not to use as pin cushions. I just like to make them and sit them around to bring a smile when I'm feeling down.

Show me your pincushions! What's your favorite?

Love the little Owl I made yesterday from a pattern HERE: http://moonstitches.typepad.com/phot...ial/index.html

So great! As much as I need a pincushion, I am really lame in making one. I can see how easy it is and soon must make a new one for myself. I am still using the red tomato pincushion I got from junior high some 50 years ago....it has sawdust inside and starting to fall apart. Gotta get my rear in gear and make a new one....or two.

Too cute! Love them but haven't made any. Did make the chicken doorstop, but nothing smaller.

I love pincushions too and started making and collecting them severalyears ago. I keep them on shelves above my sewing machine and other places in the sewing room. You have a great collection. I tried to add a picture of mine but don't know how!
