Very cool :) What are you ladies stuffing yours with? The little red "tomato" pin cushions feel like they're stuffed with saw dust. I've had a magnetic pin cushion for 20 years that I couldn't bare to part with LOL

I saw the cutest pincushions at a quilt shop in Eureka, CA while we were on our get out of the heat vacation today. Someone took metal cookie cutters and filled them with stuffing and cut the material for the cushions from the cookie cutter shape plus 1/4" seams and made the pincushion pillow to fit inside the cookie cutter. There were also some made using tart pans as a base and the pincushion was made to replicate a pastry.

And yes, I did have it put up but she is a pup and is very tall and likes to explore. She can reach just about anywhere now. I am in the process of making another one. She is bad at times but I love her so that I can't get mad at her.
