My quilt guild made Strawberry Pincushions for one of our programs several years ago.
Made them out of wool. Mine is pinkish red, then I put french knots on it to look like a strawberry. Put a green leaf on top of the opening after it was gathered up to look like a strawberry. We filled them with play sand. Made several for gifts. They work great.

Every pin cushion I have that has sand in it, the sand will find a way out through the pins stuck in it so don't have it around your machine. A few sand grains will ruin a motor or gears. I now use rice for weight and wool batting pulled into fluff for the filler.
